Common questions from Combe clients
Can you quote for a block close to Combe station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Combe too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Mastic sealing in Combe, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.

Planned mastic for Combe portfolios
At about 61 miles from central London, Combe is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Combe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Historic properties like Blenheim Palace (1.9 miles east of Combe) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For a school such as Combe CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Property owners at sites such as Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south of Combe, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
