About our mastic sealing in Durrant Green
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have draughts at frames across a block and complaints coming in block by block, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Durrant Green, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Durrant Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Questions about Durrant Green
Will you take on work at estates like Business Park, close to Durrant Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Durrant Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Durrant Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long do sealant joints 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.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Durrant Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
