Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.

Loughton: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Oakwood Hill Industrial Estate, close to Loughton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Loughton, Oakwood Hill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Loughton?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Loughton
Loughton 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 normally need attention first. Loughton lies roughly 12 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Chingford station (to the south-west of Loughton) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St. John's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like The Alderton Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work

Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
