Mastic sealing across Ardleigh
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
About our mastic sealing in Ardleigh
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Ardleigh carry our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardleigh first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Ardleigh, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Essex. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Blocks and managed buildings in Ardleigh
Central London is about 55 miles from Ardleigh. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Ardleigh is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
For owners of several units at places like Martells Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Ardleigh, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Advice
Ardleigh: questions and answers
We manage a building near Manningtree station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Martells Industrial Estate, near Ardleigh, within your area?
Yes. We cover Ardleigh and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Martells Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work in Ardleigh?
Yes. Ardleigh falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ardleigh
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
When to call us in Ardleigh
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Older buildings near Ardleigh, from historic houses such as Castle House, 1.8 miles north of Ardleigh, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Who will actually carry out the work
