How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Mastic sealing in Winchmore Hill, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you are dealing with failed external movement joints and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Winchmore Hill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Winchmore Hill, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Older rural buildings around Winchmore Hill move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Questions about Winchmore Hill
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Beaconsfield station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Winchmore Hill off your patch?
No. Places such as Winchmore Hill are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Planned mastic for Winchmore Hill portfolios
Central London is about 26 miles from Winchmore Hill. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Winchmore Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Coleshill Church of England Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Buildings close to stations like Beaconsfield station (2.5 miles south of Winchmore Hill) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
