Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Farnham Royal
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Farnham Royal carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Farnham Royal is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Farnham Royal often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Farnham Royal, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

FAQs: Farnham Royal
Can you quote for a block close to Burnham station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Farnham Royal too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Looking after buildings in and around Farnham Royal
Farnham Royal is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.

What else we do in Farnham Royal
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Honest limits
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
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
