Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Stroud Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Mastic sealing in Stroud Common
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and movement joints with sealant missing, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stroud Common tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Stroud Common tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Block-wide mastic in Stroud Common
Central London is about 29 miles from Stroud Common. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Rainfall across the South East, Stroud Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For owners of several units at places like Manfield Park Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the south of Stroud Common, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Chilworth station, 2.7 miles north of Stroud Common, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Christ Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Stroud Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Questions we’re asked in Stroud Common
Is Stroud Common off your patch?
Not at all. Stroud Common 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.
Will you take on a block within reach of Chilworth station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
