Mastic sealing in Colney Street, done properly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Colney Street from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Colney Street, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Colney Street
We manage a building near How Wood station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Colney Street too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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 asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Common problems we fix in Colney Street
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Student blocks close to universities like University of Hertfordshire (to the north-east of Colney Street) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Quoting for work in Colney Street
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
