Mastic sealing in Virginia Water
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Most enquiries from Virginia Water start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Virginia Water often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work in places the size of Virginia Water is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you

Advice
Mastic sealing in Virginia Water: the local picture
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Virginia Water. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. At about 21 miles from central London, Virginia Water is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Christ Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Schools and community buildings such as Trumps Green Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Questions we are asked in Virginia Water
Is a smaller place like Virginia Water outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Hersham Farm Business Park, close to Virginia Water?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Virginia Water, Hersham Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
What paperwork can you provide?
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 will confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Virginia Water
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Student blocks close to universities like Royal Holloway University, 1.6 miles north of Virginia Water, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Comparing quotes
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Quoting for work in Virginia Water
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
