Why it’s worth doing now in Loves Green
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Older rural buildings around Loves Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Other services in Loves Green
Looking after buildings in and around Loves Green
Loves Green lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Loves Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Paul'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. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ingatestone station (3 miles south of Loves Green) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Schools and community buildings such as Highwood Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Loves Green is about 5 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Loves Green, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Loves Green is one of 644 places we cover in Essex. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 25 miles away.

Your questions answered
Will you price a mastic programme across our Loves Green portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Loves Green too far out for you?
No. Places such as Loves Green are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
