FAQs: Howegreen
Does your area include sites such as Great Hayes Business Centre, near Howegreen?
Yes, sites like Great Hayes Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Howegreen. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Howegreen too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Howegreen is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
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 external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Mastic sealing in Howegreen
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Howegreen? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In and around smaller places like Howegreen, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Blocks and managed buildings in Howegreen
At about 35 miles from central London, Howegreen is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Howegreen sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Great Hayes Business Centre (2 miles south of Howegreen) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Purleigh Community Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Common problems we fix in Howegreen
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Failed external movement joints
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote

What affects the price in Howegreen
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

- Any dates the work must fit around

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Halls, stores and units around places like Howegreen may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
