We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and what we are called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Great Maplestead it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Great Maplestead, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Is a smaller place like Great Maplestead outside your area?

Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Mastic sealing around Great Maplestead: points for this area
Great Maplestead is about 46 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Rainfall across the South East, Great Maplestead included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Giles, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For a school such as St Giles' Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Local landmarks in Great Maplestead

Why act early in Great Maplestead
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Great Maplestead tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Great Maplestead

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Landlords with units on estates such as Deanshall Business Centre (to the south-east of Great Maplestead) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
