Mastic sealing in South Leigh
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in South Leigh, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like South Leigh often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in South Leigh
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like South Leigh are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Quoting for work in South Leigh
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
- 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.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Looking after buildings in and around South Leigh
South Leigh is about 60 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, South Leigh included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Horizon Technology Park, 2.1 miles to the east of South Leigh, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Wood Green School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older community buildings, Church of St James among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
