About our mastic sealing in Salford
For blocks and buildings in Salford and across Oxfordshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and draughts at frames across a block, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Salford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Salford tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Around Salford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- One contact handling all your sites
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Salford
Can you quote for a block close to Kingham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Salford outside your area?
No. Places such as Salford are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Looking after buildings in and around Salford
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Primsdown Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Salford, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For agents with blocks near Kingham station, 3.9 miles to the south-west of Salford, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

When to call us in Salford
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations

Advice
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
