Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shirley Oaks
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Shirley Oaks takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

FAQs: Shirley Oaks
Will you work in a care home in Shirley Oaks without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you work at a site such as Chaffinch Business Park, by Shirley Oaks?
Yes, sites like Chaffinch Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Shirley Oaks. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Shirley Oaks
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you are responsible for a building such as Shirley Methodist Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
