Do you need mastic sealing in Shenley?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Bedfordshire Milton Keynes Campus (to the north-east of Shenley) is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Mastic sealing in Shenley, done properly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and failed external movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Shenley tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Shenley 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shenley
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Shenley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
