Mastic sealing for Ottershaw sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Small buildings around Ottershaw suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Mastic sealing in Ottershaw
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and complaints coming in block by block. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ottershaw, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Places the size of Ottershaw usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What else we do in Ottershaw
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Ottershaw
The 2 miles around Ottershaw include five care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. At about 21 miles from central London, Ottershaw is within reach of the capital. 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.
For a school such as Ottershaw Christchurch Church of England Junior School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you manage student housing near a university such as Royal Holloway University, 4.6 miles north of Ottershaw, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Trustees of buildings like Christ Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

FAQs: Ottershaw
Can you work in a care home near Ottershaw with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can you quote for a block close to Chertsey station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
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.
Is Ottershaw in your area?
Yes. Ottershaw is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
