Surface by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Mastic sealing in Wingrave, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is open joints in brickwork or panels and complaints coming in block by block. Whoever orders the work in Wingrave, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Wingrave, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Questions about Wingrave
Is Wingrave off your patch?
No. Places such as Wingrave are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Upper Wingbury Farm Business Village, near Wingrave, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wingrave, Upper Wingbury Farm Business Village among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

- Balcony and threshold joints
What we’re called out for in Wingrave
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
For owners of several units at places like Upper Wingbury Farm Business Village (0.9 miles north-east of Wingrave), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
