Mastic sealing in Brickendon
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brickendon. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

About our mastic sealing in Brickendon
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have damp patches beside frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Brickendon first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Brickendon, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
What we are called out for in Brickendon
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Holy Cross & St Alban are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
For owners and agents in Brickendon

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. If others near Brickendon need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bayford station?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brickendon, Mimram Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long do sealant joints last?
