About our mastic sealing in Three Oaks
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Three Oaks first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For owners with a single building near Three Oaks, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.

Looking after buildings in and around Three Oaks
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Three Oaks. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Three Oaks. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Laurence's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. With historic buildings such as Durhamford Manor, 4.9 miles to the north-west of Three Oaks, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Three Oaks should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we’re called out for in Three Oaks
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
Schools and community buildings such as Buckswood School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Three Oaks: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate, by Three Oaks?
Yes, sites like Ivyhouse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Three Oaks. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you take on a block within reach of Three Oaks station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
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 do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
