Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and worn sealant at communal door frames.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lambourn Woodlands
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. For buildings around smaller places like Lambourn Woodlands, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions about Lambourn Woodlands
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Lambourn Woodlands?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Hungerford station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Blocks and managed buildings in Lambourn Woodlands
Lambourn Woodlands lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.

Buildings close to stations like Hungerford station, 4.6 miles to the south of Lambourn Woodlands, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Common problems we fix in Lambourn Woodlands
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you are responsible for a building such as St Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
