About our mastic sealing in Datchet
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. For commercial sealant work in Datchet, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Datchet mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. What matters most for a job in Datchet is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Central London is about 21 miles from Datchet. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.

Questions about Datchet
Can you work at a site such as Portland Business Park, by Datchet?
Yes. We cover Datchet and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Portland Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Datchet too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
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.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In a smaller place such as Datchet, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
