About our mastic sealing in Little Hallingbury
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you are dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Little Hallingbury, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Little Hallingbury, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
