Mastic sealing in High Roding, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with failed external movement joints and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in High Roding it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as High Roding tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Essex. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

What we are called out for in High Roding
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
For owners of several units at places like Blue Gates Industrial Park, 2.5 miles north of High Roding, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Blocks and managed buildings in High Roding
High Roding lies roughly 29 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. High Roding sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, Parish Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you look after a block within reach of Stansted Airport station, which lies north-west of High Roding, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Why act early in High Roding
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Older rural buildings around High Roding move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FAQs: High Roding
Is High Roding off your patch?
No. Places such as High Roding are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Stansted Airport station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
