Mastic sealing in Tickleback Row, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Most enquiries from Tickleback Row start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Tickleback Row often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tickleback Row
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. For buildings around smaller places like Tickleback Row, 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.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common questions from Tickleback Row clients
Is Tickleback Row too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, near Tickleback Row?
Yes. We cover Tickleback Row and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Planned mastic for Tickleback Row portfolios
Central London is about 29 miles from Tickleback Row. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Tickleback Row included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older buildings near Tickleback Row, from historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, 4.7 miles to the east of Tickleback Row, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Buildings close to stations like Bracknell station (2.3 miles south of Tickleback Row) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Common problems we fix in Tickleback Row
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
Older community buildings, Church of St Michael and All Angels among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
