About our mastic sealing in Hatchford
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hatchford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Hatchford, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

Mastic sealing around Hatchford: what changes locally
Central London is about 20 miles from Hatchford. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The 2 miles around Hatchford include two care or nursing homes. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
If your remit includes a building such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you look after a block within reach of Effingham Junction station (1.3 miles south-east of Hatchford), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Landlords with units on estates such as Bookham Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Hatchford) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Questions about Hatchford
Can you work at a site such as Bookham Industrial Estate, by Hatchford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hatchford, Bookham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Hatchford?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Halls, stores and units around places like Hatchford may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
