Common questions from Pitchcott clients
We manage a building near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Pitchcott too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Pitchcott is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Pitchcott
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are draughts at frames across a block and water getting in round frames after rain. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pitchcott is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Pitchcott tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Do you need mastic sealing in Pitchcott?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St. Giles, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Before you book anyone

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Pitchcott, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Mastic sealing in Pitchcott: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Pitchcott included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Pitchcott lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you look after a block within reach of Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, 3.3 miles south of Pitchcott, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. With historic buildings such as Waddesdon Manor, 3.7 miles to the south-west of Pitchcott, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Pitchcott should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
