Questions we’re asked in Cheshunt
Will you take on a block within reach of Cheshunt station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cheshunt, such as Brookfield Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Brookfield Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Cheshunt. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Mastic sealing in Cheshunt
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have complaints coming in block by block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Cheshunt? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For housing associations with stock in a town such as Cheshunt, mastic is easiest to handle as a planned programme. Work can move block by block, with you handling resident notices.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If you have more than one building in Cheshunt, they can often be done on the same visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.

If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Blocks and managed buildings in Cheshunt
At about 15 miles from central London, Cheshunt is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Rainfall across the South East, Cheshunt included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
With historic buildings such as Forty Hall (to the south of Cheshunt) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Cheshunt should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Buildings close to stations like Cheshunt station (1.3 miles south-east of Cheshunt) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you own or manage units on a site such as Brookfield Retail Park (0.7 miles north-east of Cheshunt), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cheshunt
