About our mastic sealing in Oxley Green
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and movement joints with sealant missing, across window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Oxley Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Oxley Green often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Your questions answered
Is Beckingham Business Park, near Oxley Green, within your area?
Yes. We cover Oxley Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Beckingham Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Kelvedon 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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Oxley Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Oxley Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Looking after buildings in and around Oxley Green
Oxley Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Oxley Green lies roughly 42 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.
For a school such as Thurstable School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Landlords with units on estates such as Beckingham Business Park, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Oxley Green, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Common problems we fix in Oxley Green
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
