Questions about Chells
We manage a building near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Chells too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
About our mastic sealing in Chells
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chells? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Chells, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Chells
Chells sits in or beside Stevenage, a twentieth-century planned town. Phased building means whole estates with frames of a similar vintage, ideal for a planned mastic programme. Rainfall across the South East, Chells included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Hugh & St John, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Landlords with units on estates such as Monkswood Retail Park (1.8 miles south-west of Chells) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Chells is about 1 mile east of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire. We cover Chells and the rest of Hertfordshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Hertfordshire, 371 places are covered, including Chells. There’s a separate page for London, about 29 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the SG2 and SG1 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Among the streets we cover are Scott Road, Eliot Road and Newton Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Sites close to Chells are covered too, including Stevenage (1 mile west), St Nicholas (1 mile north-west), Pin Green (1 mile west), Aston End (1 mile south-east) and Bedwell (1 mile south-west). Further afield, our area takes in St Albans (13 miles south-west), Bishop's Stortford (14 miles east), Welwyn Garden City (8 miles south), Harpenden (10 miles south-west), Hitchin (5 miles north-west) and Hoddesdon (13 miles south-east).

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a site in Chells, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Common problems we fix in Chells
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
If you look after a block within reach of Stevenage station, 1.8 miles to the south-west of Chells, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. For buildings in places like Chells, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
