For owners and agents in Great Totham
Great Totham is about 39 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Great Totham included, is lower than in many 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 normally where frame mastic ages first.
If you own or manage units on a site such as The Causeway Industrial Estate, which lies south of Great Totham, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Witham station (3.1 miles north-west of Great Totham) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For a school such as Great Totham Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a job in Great Totham, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why deal with it now?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Questions about Great Totham
Is Great Totham too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Great Totham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Witham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
