Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. For buildings in places like Great Notley, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?

When to call us in Great Notley
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Church in Great Notley are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
