Mastic sealing across Stubbles
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Stubbles
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. For commercial sealant work in Stubbles, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Stubbles, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Do you need mastic sealing in Stubbles?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
If you look after a block within reach of Goring & Streatley station, which lies north-east of Stubbles, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units

Questions we are asked in Stubbles
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Stubbles?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
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.
Do you cover Stubbles?
Yes. We take on work across Stubbles.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Blocks and managed buildings in Stubbles
Rainfall across the South East, Stubbles included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Central London is about 46 miles from Stubbles. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
With historic buildings such as Basildon Park (to the north-east of Stubbles) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Stubbles should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Trustees of buildings like Church of St Clement can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Stubbles may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
