About our mastic sealing in Adeyfield
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Adeyfield is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Adeyfield mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Adeyfield: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Adeyfield outside your area?
Not at all. Adeyfield is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Saracen Industrial Estate, near Adeyfield?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Adeyfield, Saracen Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Adeyfield can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

At about 23 miles from central London, Adeyfield is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Adeyfield sits in or beside Hemel Hempstead, a twentieth-century planned town. Blocks and estates went up in phases, so frames and external joints of the same age tend to give out together.
For a school such as Hobletts Manor Infants' School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older buildings near Adeyfield, from historic houses such as Batchwood Hall (4.2 miles east of Adeyfield) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
