Advice
Mastic sealing in Felsted
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Felsted tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions near places like Felsted 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Do you need mastic sealing in Felsted?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Trustees of buildings like Church of the Holy Cross can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Felsted may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why clients in Felsted choose us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Questions we are asked in Felsted
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Felsted?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Martels Industrial Estate, close to Felsted?
Yes. We cover Felsted and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Martels Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
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 do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
