Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order.

We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you’re dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and complaints coming in block by block, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lathbury? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Rural conversions near places like Lathbury often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lathbury are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Blocks and managed buildings in Lathbury
At about 49 miles from central London, Lathbury is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you manage student housing near a university such as Cranfield University, 4.4 miles south-east of Lathbury, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. If your remit includes a building such as Cedars Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

What we are called out for in Lathbury
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Complaints coming in block by block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Failed external movement joints
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why it’s worth doing now in Lathbury
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Lathbury may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
