FAQs: Hare Street
Does your area include sites such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, near Hare Street?
Yes. Our area takes in Hare Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Hare Street?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Mastic sealing in Hare Street, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hare Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hare Street tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hare Street. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
What we are called out for in Hare Street
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Failed external movement joints
For owners of several units at places like Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Hare Street, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Looking after buildings in and around Hare Street
Rainfall across the South East, Hare Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Central London is about 18 miles from Hare Street. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Margaret of Antioch are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Older buildings near Hare Street, from historic houses such as Hill Hall (to the west of Hare Street) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
