How we handle mastic sealing in Nutbourne
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and water getting in round frames after rain, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Nutbourne it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around smaller places like Nutbourne, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nutbourne are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Questions we’re asked in Nutbourne
Will you work in a care home in Nutbourne without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Is Nutbourne off your patch?
Not at all. Nutbourne is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
