Mastic sealing in East Hagbourne
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in East Hagbourne, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near East Hagbourne, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Do you need mastic sealing in East Hagbourne?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Failed external movement joints
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Hagbourne Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Questions we’re asked in East Hagbourne
Is a smaller place like East Hagbourne outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you work in a care home in East Hagbourne without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
