Mastic sealing for Great Berry sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Great Berry need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Mastic sealing in Great Berry
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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Great Berry start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Places the size of Great Berry normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What else we do in Great Berry
Why act early in Great Berry
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Small buildings around Great Berry suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

What we are called out for in Great Berry
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.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
For agents with blocks near Laindon station (0.7 miles east of Great Berry), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
