Mastic sealing near Ockford Ridge
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ockford Ridge
Across Ockford Ridge and the rest of Surrey, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve failed external movement joints and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ockford Ridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Ockford Ridge, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Looking after buildings in and around Ockford Ridge
Ockford Ridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Ockford Ridge is about 33 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Godalming Business Centre, which lies north-east of Ockford Ridge, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St John the Evangelist's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Historic properties like Loseley Park (4.1 miles north of Ockford Ridge) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Ockford Ridge is about 2 miles south-west of Godalming, in Surrey.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Godalming Business Centre, near Ockford Ridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ockford Ridge, Godalming Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Do you seal on top of existing 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 the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
