Common problems we fix in Lyneham
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
If you look after a block within reach of Shipton station, 1.1 miles south of Lyneham, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lyneham
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and movement joints with sealant missing, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lyneham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Lyneham, 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. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Is Lyneham too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lyneham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Wychwood Business Centre, near Lyneham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lyneham, Wychwood Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Lyneham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why it’s worth doing now in Lyneham
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Around Lyneham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- One number for every site we cover
- Public liability insurance in place
- Clear, fixed quotes

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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.
