Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Quoting for work in Chalkhouse Green
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Mastic sealing in Chalkhouse Green, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Chalkhouse Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Chalkhouse Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Chalkhouse Green: questions and answers
Is Chalkhouse Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chalkhouse Green are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Chalkhouse Green, such as The Station Shopping Park?
Yes. We cover Chalkhouse Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Station Shopping Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When to call us in Chalkhouse Green
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Landlords with units on estates such as The Station Shopping Park, 2.5 miles to the south of Chalkhouse Green, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Comparing quotes
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Older rural buildings around Chalkhouse Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
