When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Mastic sealing in Great Linford
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. For commercial sealant work in Great Linford, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Great Linford mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Commercial clients in Great Linford
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Great Linford can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a site in Great Linford, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. In a smaller place such as Great Linford, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Great Linford: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Woodlands Business Park, by Great Linford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Great Linford, Woodlands Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Great Linford off your patch?
No. Places such as Great Linford are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
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.
