Mastic sealing in Codicote Bottom, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Codicote Bottom it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural conversions near places like Codicote Bottom often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right

- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Codicote Bottom are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Converted and older buildings near places like Codicote Bottom tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
