Mastic sealing in Lanham Green, 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. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches beside frames and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lanham Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Lanham Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Halls, stores and units around places like Lanham Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common questions from Lanham Green clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Cressing station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work in a care home near Lanham Green with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Mastic sealing in Lanham Green: the local picture
Lanham Green has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents. Lanham Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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 Lanham Business Park (less than half a mile north-west of Lanham Green) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Site managers at schools like Cressing Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
