About our mastic sealing in Great Shefford
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Site teams most often ask us about cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Great Shefford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Great Shefford tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Berkshire. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

For owners and agents in Great Shefford
At about 58 miles from central London, Great Shefford is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Great Shefford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Great Shefford are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Great Shefford: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Great Shefford?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Great Shefford?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
