Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. For buildings in places like Fairford Leys, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Mastic sealing in Fairford Leys, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Fairford Leys and across Buckinghamshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Fairford Leys first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Places the size of Fairford Leys usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Fairford Leys
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Buildings close to stations like Aylesbury station (to the east of Fairford Leys) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work

Planned mastic for Fairford Leys portfolios
The 2 miles around Fairford Leys include four care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Broadfields Retail Park, 0.5 miles north of Fairford Leys, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Site managers at schools like St Mary's Church of England School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Questions about Fairford Leys
Can work in a care setting near Fairford Leys go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is Fairford Leys 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. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Several jobs near Fairford Leys can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- 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.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
