How we handle mastic sealing in Hedgerley
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and draughts at frames across a block. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hedgerley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Hedgerley 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Smaller jobs around Hedgerley can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.

Advice
For owners and agents in Hedgerley
Hedgerley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Hedgerley is about 22 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
If you look after a block within reach of Gerrards Cross station, 2.3 miles north-east of Hedgerley, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older buildings near Hedgerley, from historic houses such as Cliveden (3.8 miles west of Hedgerley) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Hedgerley is about 3 miles south-east of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Hedgerley, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Hedgerley is one of 308 places we cover in Buckinghamshire for mastic joints. Reading is covered too, around 18 miles from Hedgerley.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
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.
Your questions answered
Is Hedgerley too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hedgerley are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Hedgerley?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you just go over the old 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.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What affects the price in Hedgerley
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Our quote form is another easy route.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
