Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
About our mastic sealing in Tilford Reeds
Different joints need different sealants. 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. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and movement joints with sealant missing, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Most enquiries from Tilford Reeds start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Tilford Reeds, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Tilford Reeds tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Looking after buildings in and around Tilford Reeds
At about 36 miles from central London, Tilford Reeds is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Rainfall across the South East, Tilford Reeds included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Farnham station (2.3 miles north-west of Tilford Reeds) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Questions we are asked in Tilford Reeds
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Farnham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Tilford Reeds too far out for you?
Not at all. Tilford Reeds is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tilford Reeds are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
When to call us in Tilford Reeds
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Student blocks close to universities like University for the Creative Arts, 2.9 miles to the north-west of Tilford Reeds, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
