Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
About our mastic sealing in Loose
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Loose first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like Loose, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Loose: questions and answers
Is Loose too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Loose is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work in a care home near Loose with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How a job runs

We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

What affects the price in Loose
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Do you need mastic sealing in Loose?
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
For agents with blocks near East Farleigh station, which lies north-west of Loose, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
