How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ingatestone
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is window mastic that has split and shrunk and no planned programme for sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ingatestone tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Ingatestone, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Advice
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Looking after buildings in and around Ingatestone
At about 24 miles from central London, Ingatestone is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Ingatestone is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Schools and community buildings such as Ingatestone Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you manage student housing near a university such as Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus, 4.6 miles to the north of Ingatestone, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. If you look after a block within reach of Ingatestone station, which lies south-east of Ingatestone, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
FAQs: Ingatestone
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Ingatestone?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Will you take on a block within reach of Ingatestone station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a job like this 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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
