Advice
Mastic sealing in Housham Tye, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant.

Block-wide mastic in Housham Tye
Housham Tye lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Housham Tye is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Harlow Innovation Park, 2.2 miles to the west of Housham Tye, can have mastic renewed between lettings. With historic buildings such as Barrington Hall, 4.8 miles to the north-east of Housham Tye, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Housham Tye should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Older rural buildings around Housham Tye move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Do you need mastic sealing in Housham Tye?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Damp patches beside frames
For a school such as Mark Hall School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Questions about Housham Tye
Will you take on work at estates like Harlow Innovation Park, close to Housham Tye?
Yes. Our area takes in Housham Tye and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Harlow Innovation Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
We manage a building near Harlow Mill station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
