Questions about Ilmer
Is Ilmer too far out for you?
Not at all. Ilmer is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ilmer portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
About our mastic sealing in Ilmer
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ilmer is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Ilmer 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to bring in 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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic sealing around Ilmer: what changes locally
Ilmer sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 38 miles from Ilmer. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If you look after a block within reach of Monks Risborough station (2.5 miles east of Ilmer), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Schools and community buildings such as Longwick Church of England Combined School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Ilmer is about 4 miles east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Ilmer sits inside our coverage and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire. There’s a separate page for Oxford, roughly 15 miles from Ilmer.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
