Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Little Tey
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and communal area joints that look neglected. Whoever orders the work in Little Tey, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Little Tey, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
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.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Communal entrances and stairwells
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Rural sites near Little Tey may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Commercial clients in Little Tey
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Marks Tey station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does your area include sites such as Threshelfords Business Park, near Little Tey?
Yes. Our area takes in Little Tey and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Threshelfords Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you work in Little Tey?
Yes. We cover Little Tey, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
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.

Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
