Mastic sealing in Hill Green
For blocks and buildings in Hill Green and across Essex, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. If you are dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints alike.

In and around smaller places like Hill Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Hill Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Blocks and managed buildings in Hill Green
Central London is about 35 miles from Hill Green. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Hill Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as Clavering Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For owners of several units at places like Funstons Commercial Centre, less than half a mile to the south-west of Hill Green, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. With historic buildings such as Audley End House, 4.2 miles north-east of Hill Green, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Hill Green should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Your questions answered
Is Hill Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Hill Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. 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.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

What else we do in Hill Green
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
