Maintenance after handover

- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Risinghurst
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is communal area joints that look neglected and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Risinghurst tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Risinghurst mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Risinghurst, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. For buildings in places like Risinghurst, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Risinghurst
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed external movement joints
Buildings close to stations like Oxford station, 3.5 miles to the west of Risinghurst, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Your questions answered
Is Risinghurst too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Risinghurst are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Shotover Trading Estate, near Risinghurst, within your area?
Yes. We cover Risinghurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Shotover Trading Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
