What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Your questions answered
Is Great Bromley too far out for you?
No. Places such as Great Bromley are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Martells Industrial Estate, near Great Bromley, within your area?
Yes. We cover Great Bromley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Martells Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Does the weather affect the 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Great Bromley can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Essex.

Advice
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Planned mastic for Great Bromley portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Central London is about 55 miles from Great Bromley. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
For a school such as St George's Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Essex (3.8 miles west of Great Bromley), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Older community buildings, Church of St George among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
