Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Doddinghurst Common
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about draughts at frames across a block and failed external movement joints, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whoever orders the work in Doddinghurst Common, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For owners with a single building near Doddinghurst Common, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows typically get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Doddinghurst Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Doddinghurst Common, we aim to finish in one 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.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Blocks and managed buildings in Doddinghurst Common
Doddinghurst Common is about 19 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Doddinghurst Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Trustees of buildings like New Church of St Nicholas can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If your remit includes a building such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For owners of several units at places like Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles to the north of Doddinghurst Common, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

FAQs: Doddinghurst Common
Is a smaller place like Doddinghurst Common outside your area?
No. Places such as Doddinghurst Common are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near Shenfield station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
