Mastic sealing in Goddard's Green, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and complaints coming in block by block. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Goddard's Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around smaller places like Goddard's Green, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Mastic sealing around Goddard's Green: how the place shapes the job
Goddard's Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Central London is about 42 miles from Goddard's Green. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Site managers at schools like Garland Junior School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Goddard's Green, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Questions we’re asked in Goddard's Green
Is Goddard's Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Goddard's Green is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Mortimer station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
