Your questions answered
Is Battlesbridge too far out for you?
Not at all. Battlesbridge is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Battlesbridge station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
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 confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Common problems we fix in Battlesbridge
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Nicholas are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
