Mastic sealing in Houghton Green
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and no planned programme for sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Houghton Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Houghton Green, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Houghton Green are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Around Houghton Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

- Failed external movement joints
If you own or manage units on a site such as Jempson Trading Estate (1.7 miles south of Houghton Green), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Questions we’re asked in Houghton Green
Will you take on work at estates like Jempson Trading Estate, close to Houghton Green?
Yes, sites like Jempson Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Houghton Green. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does the sea air around Houghton Green change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
