Mastic sealing in Great Hollands, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, 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, with public liability insurance. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Great Hollands, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Great Hollands often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photos and we will quote for all of them together.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Do you need mastic sealing in Great Hollands?
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If you own or manage units on a site such as Longshot Lane Industrial Estate (1 mile north of Great Hollands), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Why act early in Great Hollands
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Common questions from Great Hollands clients
Will you take on work at estates like Longshot Lane Industrial Estate, close to Great Hollands?
Yes, sites like Longshot Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Great Hollands. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Great Hollands outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
