How we handle mastic sealing in Steeple Claydon
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Steeple Claydon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Steeple Claydon mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work

Mastic sealing around Steeple Claydon: how the place shapes the job

Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.

With historic buildings such as Claydon House, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Steeple Claydon, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Steeple Claydon should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
