Mastic sealing near Ford
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
About our mastic sealing in Ford
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you’re dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and complaints coming in block by block, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Most enquiries from Ford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For owners with a single building near Ford, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Ford
Rainfall across the South East, Ford included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Ford is about 39 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, 2.8 miles west of Ford, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you manage student housing near a university such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale, 3.9 miles to the north-east of Ford, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Landlords with units on estates such as Haddenham Industrial Park (2.5 miles west of Ford) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Ford is about 4 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Looking for mastic sealing in Ford? We can help. Ford is one of 308 places in Buckinghamshire on our list. Our Oxford page has more on work in that area (15 miles or so).

Common questions from Ford clients
Can you quote for a block close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like Haddenham Industrial Park, close to Ford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ford, Haddenham Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ford
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Converted and older buildings near places like Ford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ford are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
