Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Bedlar's Green

Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bedlar's Green from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Looking after buildings in and around Bedlar's Green
Bedlar's Green lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Bedlar's Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Peek Business Centre (to the north-west of Bedlar's Green) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Bishops Stortford station, 1.9 miles to the west of Bedlar's Green, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Schools and community buildings such as Birchwood High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Bedlar's Green is about 2 miles east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex.

Quoting for work in Bedlar's Green
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Bedlar's Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Why it’s worth doing now in Bedlar's Green
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings around smaller places like Bedlar's Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
