Blocks and managed buildings in Little Dunmow
At about 33 miles from central London, Little Dunmow is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Little Dunmow sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Property owners at sites such as Martels Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles to the south-west of Little Dunmow, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Trustees of buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For a school such as The Flitch Green Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Little Dunmow, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

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. For buildings in places like Little Dunmow, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Little Dunmow can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Essex.
Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Martels Industrial Estate, close to Little Dunmow?
Yes. Our area takes in Little Dunmow and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Martels Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Little Dunmow outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
