Construction mastic in Copford Green, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Copford Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Copford Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

Why act early in Copford Green
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Copford Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colour agreed before work starts

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What we’re called out for in Copford Green
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
Older buildings in the area around Copford Green, such as Layer Marney Tower (3.2 miles south of Copford Green), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The named product and why it was chosen
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Copford Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
