How we handle mastic sealing in Little Hungerford
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Whoever orders the work in Little Hungerford, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Little Hungerford tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Your questions answered
Is Little Hungerford off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Commercial clients in Little Hungerford
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Little Hungerford need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Related advice
For owners and agents in Little Hungerford
Little Hungerford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. At about 50 miles from central London, Little Hungerford is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Historic properties like Shaw House, 4.1 miles to the south-west of Little Hungerford, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

What we are called out for in Little Hungerford
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
If you look after a block within reach of Newbury Racecourse station, 4.7 miles south-west of Little Hungerford, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
