Common questions from Fingest clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Fingest portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Saunderton station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you work in Fingest?
Yes. Sites across Fingest are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Mastic sealing in Fingest
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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and draughts at frames across a block. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Fingest it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Fingest, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Halls, stores and units around places like Fingest may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.

What else we do in Fingest
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Related advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Fingest?
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
Older buildings near Fingest, from historic houses such as Stonor Park, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Fingest, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

If your remit includes a building such as Cadmore End CofE School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Buildings close to stations like Saunderton station (to the north-east of Fingest) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
