Mastic sealing in Matching Tye
Across Matching Tye and the rest of Essex, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Matching Tye it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Matching Tye, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Matching Tye clients
Does your area include sites such as Hastingwood Business Centre, near Matching Tye?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Matching Tye, Hastingwood Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Matching Tye off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Signs you need mastic sealing in Matching Tye
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Older buildings near Matching Tye, from historic houses such as Barrington Hall, 4.5 miles north-east of Matching Tye, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Before you send an enquiry

- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Matching Tye need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Block-wide mastic in Matching Tye
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 23 miles from central London, Matching Tye is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Harlow Mill station (2.7 miles west of Matching Tye) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
