About our mastic sealing in Bardfield End Green
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is complaints coming in block by block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bardfield End Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For owners with a single building near Bardfield End Green, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
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.

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:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
FAQs: Bardfield End Green
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Bardfield End Green?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is a smaller place like Bardfield End Green outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.

Historic properties like Horham Hall (to the west of Bardfield End Green) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Schools and community buildings such as Thaxted Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
