Mastic sealing in Bentley, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Searching for sealant specialists in Bentley? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For owners with a single building near Bentley, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Your questions answered
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Bentley?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Bentley outside your area?
No. Places such as Bentley are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide?
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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Blocks and managed buildings in Bentley
Bentley lies roughly 18 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Older buildings near Bentley, from historic houses such as Hare Hall (4.8 miles south-west of Bentley) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Older community buildings, Church of St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Becket Keys Church of England School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Bentley is about 2 miles north-west of Brentwood, in Essex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Bentley can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Essex.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Related advice
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
