Cressing: questions and answers
Is Cressing 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 photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Lanham Business Park, near Cressing, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Cressing and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Lanham Business Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Cressing
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you have window mastic that has split and shrunk and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Cressing from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Cressing 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.

For owners and agents in Cressing
Rainfall across the South East, Cressing included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Cressing is about 39 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Landlords with units on estates such as Lanham Business Park (0.5 miles north of Cressing) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. For a school such as Cressing Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Common problems we fix in Cressing
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you’re responsible for a building such as Parish Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the existing material will be dealt with

What else we do in Cressing
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Quoting for work in Cressing
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
One failed perimeter typically 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.
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, and the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Rural sites near Cressing may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Quotes
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Advice
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
