Mastic sealing in Fox, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whoever orders the work in Fox, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Fox 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Looking after buildings in and around Fox
Fox sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Fox lies roughly 68 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For a school such as Amport Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Buildings close to stations like Grateley station (2.1 miles south-west of Fox) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Track which buildings were done and when
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fox
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Converted and older buildings near places like Fox tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Questions we are asked in Fox
Is Weyhill Business Park, near Fox, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Fox and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Weyhill Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Grateley station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
