About our mastic sealing in Cooper's Green
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is open joints in brickwork or panels and draught complaints from residents or tenants. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Cooper's Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Cooper's Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Common problems we fix in Cooper's Green
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hatfield station (2.4 miles east of Cooper's Green) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Questions we are asked in Cooper's Green
Is Cooper's Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Cooper's Green is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Hatfield station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
