Need mastic sealing in Weston-on-the-Green?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Mastic sealing in Weston-on-the-Green, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you are dealing with window mastic that has split and shrunk and complaints coming in block by block, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Weston-on-the-Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Weston-on-the-Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Weston-on-the-Green are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote

What else we do in Weston-on-the-Green
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When to call us in Weston-on-the-Green
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Weston-on-the-Green: questions and answers
Is Business Park, near Weston-on-the-Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Weston-on-the-Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Islip station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
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.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is Weston-on-the-Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Weston-on-the-Green, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
