Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. If others near Ballards Gore need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
For owners and agents in Ballards Gore
Rainfall across the South East, Ballards Gore included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Ballards Gore is about 37 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Historic properties like Southchurch Hall, 4.5 miles to the south of Ballards Gore, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Rochford station (2.4 miles south-west of Ballards Gore) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Ballards Gore is about 2 miles north-east of Rochford, in Essex. Ballards Gore sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, including Ballards Gore. Our London page has more on work in that area.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Questions about Ballards Gore
Is a smaller place like Ballards Gore outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Purdey's industrial estate, by Ballards Gore?
Yes. We cover Ballards Gore and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Purdey's industrial estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, 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.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Around Ballards Gore, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Ballards Gore?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Student blocks close to universities like University of Essex, 4.6 miles south of Ballards Gore, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
