Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Radfall
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Radfall is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around smaller places like Radfall, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

What else we do in Radfall
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Radfall are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need mastic sealing in Radfall?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
For owners of several units at places like Joseph Wilson Industrial Park (1.2 miles north-west of Radfall), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
