Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Long Wittenham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Get a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How we handle mastic sealing in Long Wittenham
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Long Wittenham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Long Wittenham, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells

- Balcony and threshold joints

- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.

Mastic sealing around Long Wittenham: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Long Wittenham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Long Wittenham lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If your remit includes a building such as Long Wittenham (Church of England) Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Historic properties like Clifton Hampden Manor (to the north of Long Wittenham) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
