Questions about Filchampstead
Is a smaller place like Filchampstead outside your area?
No. Places such as Filchampstead are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you work in a care home in Filchampstead without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Why act early in Filchampstead
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Converted and older buildings near places like Filchampstead tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
