For owners and agents in Loudwater
Loudwater sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Loudwater. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
If you look after a block within reach of Rickmansworth station (1.2 miles south of Loudwater), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Site managers at schools like Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Loudwater is about 1 mile north-east of Chorleywood, in Hertfordshire. Across the WD3 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Loudwater is one of 371 places we cover in Hertfordshire. London is covered too, around 20 miles from Loudwater.

Mastic sealing in Loudwater
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Loudwater, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Loudwater often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Do you work in occupied care homes around Loudwater?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Is a smaller place like Loudwater outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

What we are called out for in Loudwater
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
With historic buildings such as Chenies Manor House, 2.5 miles north-west of Loudwater, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Loudwater should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Loudwater
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Around Loudwater, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
