About our mastic sealing in Farnham Common
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about draught complaints from residents or tenants and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Farnham Common is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around smaller places like Farnham Common, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Farnham Common as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Common problems we fix in Farnham Common
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
For owners of several units at places like Slough Trading Estate (2.8 miles south of Farnham Common), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Mastic sealing around Farnham Common: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Farnham Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Farnham Common lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Trustees of buildings like St John the Evangelist can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Older buildings near Farnham Common, from historic houses such as Cliveden, 3.3 miles west of Farnham Common, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Farnham Common are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you

Questions about Farnham Common
We manage a building near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Slough Trading Estate, close to Farnham Common?
Yes. We cover Farnham Common and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Slough Trading Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
