Mastic sealing in Buttsbury
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and movement joints with sealant missing. Searching for sealant specialists in Buttsbury? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Buttsbury, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For work around Buttsbury, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

FAQs: Buttsbury
We manage a building near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Buttsbury off your patch?
Not at all. Buttsbury is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Planned mastic for Buttsbury portfolios
Central London is about 23 miles from Buttsbury. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Buttsbury is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Giles are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Historic properties like Ingatestone Hall (to the north of Buttsbury) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For a school such as Brightside Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Halls, stores and units around places like Buttsbury may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
