About our mastic sealing in Tiddington
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. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Tiddington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Tiddington, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions about Tiddington
Will you price a mastic programme across our Tiddington portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Will you take on work at estates like Camp Industrial Estate, close to Tiddington?
Yes. We cover Tiddington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Camp Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is Tiddington in your area?
Yes. Tiddington falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tiddington. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common problems we fix in Tiddington
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you own or manage units on a site such as Camp Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the south-east of Tiddington, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Block-wide mastic in Tiddington
Tiddington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. At about 45 miles from central London, Tiddington is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
With historic buildings such as Adwell House, 4.5 miles to the south-east of Tiddington, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Tiddington should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Older community buildings, Church of St Helen among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
