About our mastic sealing in Ley Green
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ley Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions near places like Ley Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Ley Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

For owners and agents in Ley Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Central London is about 30 miles from Ley Green. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
For agents with blocks near Hitchin station, 4 miles north-east of Ley Green, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. With historic buildings such as Knebworth House, 4.9 miles to the south-east of Ley Green, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ley Green should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Student blocks close to universities like University Of Bedfordshire (to the south-west of Ley Green) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Ley Green: questions and answers
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Ley Green?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you quote for a block close to Hitchin station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
