Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing in Huntercombe, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and leaks at window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Huntercombe tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Huntercombe, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

For owners and agents in Huntercombe
Huntercombe is about 24 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as St. Andrew's Shared Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Buildings close to stations like Burnham station (to the north-east of Huntercombe) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Bath Road Shopping Park (0.8 miles east of Huntercombe) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Huntercombe is about 2 miles west of Slough, in Slough. Commercial clients in Huntercombe can call on us for mastic joints. Huntercombe is one of 11 places we cover in Slough for mastic joints. For work in that direction, see our Reading page (15 miles or so).

Questions we’re asked in Huntercombe
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Burnham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Huntercombe too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Why it’s worth doing now in Huntercombe
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Huntercombe
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: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Several jobs near Huntercombe can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
