Mastic sealing for Wildridings sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Wildridings
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts at frames across a block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Most enquiries from Wildridings 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.
Converted and older buildings in and around Wildridings often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Wildridings
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Trustees of buildings like St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- Their public liability cover
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several jobs near Wildridings can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wildridings
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.

Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Looking after buildings in and around Wildridings
Wildridings lies roughly 29 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
