How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Sunningwell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sunningwell
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Sunningwell is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near Sunningwell, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.

Common questions from Sunningwell clients
Is a smaller place like Sunningwell outside your area?
Not at all. Sunningwell is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Wootton Business Park, by Sunningwell?
Yes. We cover Sunningwell and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wootton Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. 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.
Planned mastic for Sunningwell portfolios
Sunningwell is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Sunningwell lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Owners of student blocks near University College (to the north-east of Sunningwell) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Leonard are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners of several units at places like Wootton Business Park (1.6 miles west of Sunningwell), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Commercial clients in Sunningwell
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. For buildings around smaller places like Sunningwell, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
