What sealant work can’t fix

- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work

About our mastic sealing in Great Burstead
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with sealant missing and complaints coming in block by block. Most enquiries from Great Burstead start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Great Burstead often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Mastic sealing around Great Burstead: what changes locally
Great Burstead lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Pipps Hill Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles to the south of Great Burstead, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary Magdalene among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Great Burstead is about 2 miles south-east of Billericay, in Essex. Across the CM11 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Great Burstead: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Pipps Hill Industrial Estate, by Great Burstead?
Yes, sites like Pipps Hill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Great Burstead. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Great Burstead off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Burstead
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. For buildings around smaller places like Great Burstead, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
