Mastic sealing in North Shoebury, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whoever orders the work in North Shoebury, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Older buildings and conversions around places like North Shoebury mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
What we are called out for in North Shoebury
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Buildings close to stations like Shoeburyness station (to the south-east of North Shoebury) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Questions we’re asked in North Shoebury
Does a coastal location like North Shoebury affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
We manage a building near Shoeburyness station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
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 do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you cover North Shoebury?
Yes. We cover North Shoebury, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
