Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
About our mastic sealing in Little Chesterford
For blocks and buildings in Little Chesterford and across Essex, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Little Chesterford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For buildings around smaller places like Little Chesterford, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Planned mastic for Little Chesterford portfolios
Little Chesterford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Little Chesterford is about 40 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary the Virgin among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Abbey Barns Business Park, 2.1 miles north-west of Little Chesterford, can have mastic renewed between lettings. If your remit includes a building such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
