If you have more than one building in Hoddesdon, they can often be done on the same visit, with one quote covering them. Give us your access times and we will fit the work in.

Advice
Common questions from Hoddesdon clients
Will you take on work at estates like Hilgrove Business Park, close to Hoddesdon?
Yes, sites like Hilgrove Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hoddesdon. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hoddesdon portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
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.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Many buildings in towns like Hoddesdon have been extended or altered, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What you get with us

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
