How we handle mastic sealing in Ramsnest Common
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ramsnest Common it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Ramsnest Common often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. 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. For a building around Ramsnest Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site

When to bring in a specialist

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common questions from Ramsnest Common clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ramsnest Common portfolio?

We manage a building near Witley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
