Mastic sealing in Eight Ash Green
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. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and damp patches beside frames, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Eight Ash Green? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Eight Ash Green, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Do you need mastic sealing in Eight Ash Green?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Look out for the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For a school such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What else we do in Eight Ash Green
Surface by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Blocks and managed buildings in Eight Ash Green
Eight Ash Green lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Eight Ash Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Buildings close to stations like Marks Tey station (1.9 miles south-west of Eight Ash Green) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Trustees of buildings like All Saints Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
