Mastic sealing near Skinners Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Skinners Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about leaks at window and door perimeters and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Skinners Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

For owners and agents in Skinners Green
Skinners Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. At about 55 miles from central London, Skinners Green is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Older community buildings, Parish Church of St Michael among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as Newbury Retail Park, 1.7 miles east of Skinners Green, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Skinners Green
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Schools and community buildings such as John Rankin Infant and Nursery School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
FAQs: Skinners Green
Is Newbury Retail Park, near Skinners Green, within your area?
Yes. We cover Skinners Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Newbury Retail Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Skinners Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do I request a quote?
