What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in St John Street area
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whoever orders the work in St John Street area, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as St John Street area, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Your questions answered
Is St John Street area off your patch?
Not at all. St John Street area is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Osney Mead Industrial Estate, by St John Street area?
Yes, sites like Osney Mead Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of St John Street area. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in St John Street area is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Block-wide mastic in St John Street area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. St John Street area is about 53 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Property owners at sites such as Osney Mead Industrial Estate (to the south-west of St John Street area) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Pusey House Chapel are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Oxford (less than half a mile east of St John Street area) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
St John Street area is about 1 mile west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX1, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. St John Street area is one of 423 places we cover in Oxfordshire for mastic joints.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout OX1 and OX2, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are New Road, Shoe Lane and Love Lane.

Why act early in St John Street area
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
