Mastic sealing across Graveley
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing in Graveley
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Searching for sealant specialists in Graveley? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In and around smaller places like Graveley, 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. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Around Graveley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- One contact handling all your sites

Planned mastic for Graveley portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Graveley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 31 miles from Graveley. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
With historic buildings such as Knebworth House, 4.4 miles south of Graveley, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Graveley should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If your remit includes a building such as Graveley Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Graveley: questions and answers
Is Graveley too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts.

When to call us in Graveley
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
If you look after a block within reach of Stevenage station (2.4 miles south of Graveley), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
