Mastic sealing near Deacon's Hill
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Commercial clients in Deacon's Hill
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Questions we’re asked in Deacon's Hill
Can you work in a care home near Deacon's Hill with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Does your area include sites such as Borehamwood Shopping Park, near Deacon's Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Deacon's Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Borehamwood Shopping Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Deacon's Hill in your area?
Yes. Sites across Deacon's Hill are covered.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. If others near Deacon's Hill need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
