Mastic sealing in Frogmore
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain 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. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Frogmore from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions near places like Frogmore often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Related advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Frogmore?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as How Wood station (under half a mile west of Frogmore) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Questions about Frogmore
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near How Wood station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Frogmore too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Why act early in Frogmore
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Frogmore, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
