How we handle mastic sealing in Batchworth
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and failed external movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Batchworth, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Batchworth, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Batchworth need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Quoting for work in Batchworth
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions we’re asked in Batchworth
Is Batchworth too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Batchworth is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Rickmansworth station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
