When to call us in Redford
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Luke can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
How we handle mastic sealing in Redford
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and open joints in brickwork or panels, across communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Redford first comes to us: 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 Redford, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Redford are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Questions about Redford
Is Redford too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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 a block within reach of Liphook station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a job like this take?
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.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Cost factors for mastic joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing around Redford: how the place shapes the job
Redford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 44 miles from Redford. 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.
With historic buildings such as Cowdray House, 3.4 miles to the south-east of Redford, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Redford should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Liphook station (to the north of Redford) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
