What the job involves on each surface

Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
Mastic sealing in Hill End
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and complaints coming in block by block. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hill End from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In a London area such as Hill End, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Blocks and managed buildings in Hill End
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We fit the programme to your notice periods. Hill End has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
For owners of several units at places like Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles north-east of Hill End, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, Harefield Baptist Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If your remit includes a building such as Harefield Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Hill End is about 2 miles south-west of Rickmansworth, in Greater London. Anywhere in UB9, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. In Hill End, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions we’re asked in Hill End
Is Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate, near Hill End, within your area?
Yes. We cover Hill End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on jobs in Hill End where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you work in Hill End?
Yes. Hill End is in our area. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Track which buildings were done and when
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
