Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
About our mastic sealing in Hardwick
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Most enquiries from Hardwick start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions near places like Hardwick often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

What affects the price in Hardwick
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Do you cover business parks and estates near Hardwick, such as Lakeside Industrial Estate?

Is Hardwick too far out for you?
Not at all. Hardwick is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. For buildings around smaller places like Hardwick, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Hardwick is about 61 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Hardwick sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Landlords with units on estates such as Lakeside Industrial Estate (to the east of Hardwick) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Older buildings near Hardwick, from historic houses such as Longworth House (to the south of Hardwick) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
