Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Green
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Around Lower Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Public liability insurance in place

How we handle mastic sealing in Lower Green
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Whoever orders the work in Lower Green, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Lower Green 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Lower Green
Is Lower Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Lower Green is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Kintbury station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Lower Green
Lower Green lies roughly 61 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Lower Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For a school such as Inkpen Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Landlords with units on estates such as Stype Business Centre (to the west of Lower Green) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Michael, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lower Green are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
