About our mastic sealing in Mount Pleasant
For blocks and buildings in Mount Pleasant and across Essex, the process is the same: 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. The enquiries we see most involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Mount Pleasant tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Mount Pleasant, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
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.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Stansted Mountfitchet station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Oaks Industrial Park, near Mount Pleasant, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Mount Pleasant and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Oaks Industrial Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

For owners and agents in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 31 miles from central London, Mount Pleasant 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Manuden Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Mount Pleasant is about 4 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. Across the CM23 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Mount Pleasant, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
