Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does your area include sites such as Borehamwood Industrial Park, near Green Street?
Yes. We cover Green Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Borehamwood Industrial Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
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.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Quoting for work in Green Street
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Looking after buildings in and around Green Street
The 2 miles around Green Street include two care or nursing homes. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. Rainfall across the South East, Green Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Schools and community buildings such as Parkside Community Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Landlords with units on estates such as Borehamwood Industrial Park (to the south-east of Green Street) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
