Mastic sealing in Plastow Green, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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 balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Most enquiries from Plastow Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Plastow Green, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off

After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Plastow Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Plastow Green
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Converted and older buildings near places like Plastow Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in Plastow Green
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
For agents with blocks near Thatcham station (2.9 miles north of Plastow Green), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Questions about Plastow Green
Is Plastow Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Scion Business Park, close to Plastow Green?

Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.

What else we do in Plastow Green
For owners and agents in Plastow Green
At about 50 miles from central London, Plastow Green is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Plastow Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
For a school such as Cheam School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
