Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Marsh Gibbon
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and draughts at frames across a block. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Marsh Gibbon tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Marsh Gibbon often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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.

What we are called out for in Marsh Gibbon
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate

Advice
What else we do in Marsh Gibbon
Questions we’re asked in Marsh Gibbon
Is Marsh Gibbon too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Tower Hill Business Park, close to Marsh Gibbon?
Yes. We cover Marsh Gibbon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tower Hill Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Marsh Gibbon, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Planned mastic for Marsh Gibbon portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Marsh Gibbon included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Marsh Gibbon is about 50 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Schools and community buildings such as Marsh Gibbon CofE Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older buildings near Marsh Gibbon, from historic houses such as Claydon House (to the east of Marsh Gibbon) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
