Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Eddington
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and worn sealant at communal door frames, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Upper Eddington it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Upper Eddington, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions we are asked in Upper Eddington
Is Upper Eddington too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Charnham Business Park, close to Upper Eddington?
Yes. Our area takes in Upper Eddington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Charnham Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Upper Eddington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
