About our mastic sealing in Burnham-on-Crouch
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. 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. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Burnham-on-Crouch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Burnham-on-Crouch mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Block-wide mastic in Burnham-on-Crouch
At about 40 miles from central London, Burnham-on-Crouch is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Site managers at schools like Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Burnham-On-Crouch station (under half a mile west of Burnham-on-Crouch) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Common questions from Burnham-on-Crouch clients
Can you quote for a block close to Burnham-On-Crouch station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Springfield Industrial Estate, near Burnham-on-Crouch, within your area?
Yes, sites like Springfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Burnham-on-Crouch. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
