External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Loughton
Across Loughton and the rest of Milton Keynes, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Loughton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a smaller place such as Loughton, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
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.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Mastic sealing around Loughton: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Loughton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Milton Keynes, one of the planned towns of the twentieth century, takes in or adjoins Loughton. Housing was built estate by estate, which suits planned, block-by-block mastic programmes.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Deltic Trade Park, 0.6 miles to the north of Loughton, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Trustees of buildings like All Saints Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

FAQs: Loughton
Is Deltic Trade Park, near Loughton, within your area?
Yes, sites like Deltic Trade Park are within our area, along with the rest of Loughton. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you cover Loughton?
Yes. Sites across Loughton are covered.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Loughton is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
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.
