FAQs: Egham Wick
Can work in a care setting near Egham Wick go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Virginia Water station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
About our mastic sealing in Egham Wick
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you are dealing with worn sealant at communal door frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Egham Wick first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Egham Wick, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we’re called out for in Egham Wick
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
Property owners at sites such as Egham Business Park (2.4 miles east of Egham Wick) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. For buildings around smaller places like Egham Wick, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Egham Wick can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells

- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Mastic sealing in Egham Wick: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Egham Wick included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 22 miles from Egham Wick. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For agents with blocks near Virginia Water station, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Egham Wick, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. If you manage student housing near a university such as Royal Holloway University, which lies east of Egham Wick, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. 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.
