Why act early in Wash Water
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Wash Water, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Mastic sealing in Wash Water
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have no planned programme for sealant and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Wash Water, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Wash Water, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wash Water are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Block-wide mastic in Wash Water
Wash Water is about 55 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Wash Water included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Buildings close to stations like Newbury station (2.5 miles north-east of Wash Water) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Site managers at schools like Horris Hill School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you own or manage units on a site such as Newbury Retail Park, which lies north-east of Wash Water, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
