Need mastic sealing in Boxmoor?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
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. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Boxmoor, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What else we do in Boxmoor
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Do you need mastic sealing in Boxmoor?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
For owners of several units at places like Chancerygate Business Centre (0.6 miles south-east of Boxmoor), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

- What site paperwork they can supply
Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
FAQs: Boxmoor
Will you take on a block within reach of Hemel Hempstead station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does your area include sites such as Chancerygate Business Centre, near Boxmoor?
Yes, sites like Chancerygate Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Boxmoor. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Boxmoor
The planned town of Hemel Hempstead is on Boxmoor’s doorstep. Estates from the same phase usually have mastic of the same age, so owners and associations can deal with it block by block. Boxmoor sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Hemel Hempstead station (under half a mile south-west of Boxmoor), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If your remit includes a building such as Boxmoor Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
