How we handle mastic sealing in Great Wymondley
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Great Wymondley carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Great Wymondley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Great Wymondley, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Great Wymondley
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Look out for the following:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- No planned programme for sealant
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Rural sites near Great Wymondley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Track which buildings were done and when
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
FAQs: Great Wymondley
Can you work in a care home near Great Wymondley with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Is a smaller place like Great Wymondley outside your area?
Not at all. Great Wymondley is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
