Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Great Brickhill
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 have complaints coming in block by block and draughts at frames across a block, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Great Brickhill, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Great Brickhill 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Block-wide mastic in Great Brickhill
Central London is about 41 miles from Great Brickhill. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Student blocks close to universities like The Open University, 4.4 miles to the north of Great Brickhill, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Buildings close to stations like Bow Brickhill station, 2.9 miles to the north of Great Brickhill, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

Questions we are asked in Great Brickhill
Is Great Brickhill too far out for you?
No. Places such as Great Brickhill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near Bow Brickhill station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
