Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Middle Aston
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and no planned programme for sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Middle Aston? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For owners with a single building near Middle Aston, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Other services in Middle Aston
Do you need mastic sealing in Middle Aston?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
If you look after a block within reach of Heyford station, 1.5 miles to the south of Middle Aston, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

FAQs: Middle Aston
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Heyford station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does your area include sites such as Hatch End Old Industrial Estate, near Middle Aston?
Yes. Our area takes in Middle Aston and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hatch End Old Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
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 communal access is kept open.
Do you work in Middle Aston?
Yes. We cover Middle Aston, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
