Mastic sealing across Perry Green
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Perry Green
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Cressing station, 2.2 miles south-west of Perry Green, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
About our mastic sealing in Perry Green
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. If you’re dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Perry Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Perry Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.

Common questions from Perry Green clients
Is Perry Green too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Lanham Business Park, near Perry Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Perry Green, Lanham Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Perry Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Block-wide mastic in Perry Green
Rainfall across the South East, Perry Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 40 miles from central London, Perry Green is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Landlords with units on estates such as Lanham Business Park (1 mile west of Perry Green) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Perry Green is about 3 miles south-east of Braintree, in Essex. We cover Perry Green, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 644 places in Essex. There’s a separate page for London, about 40 miles away.

Landmarks near Perry Green
The nearest railway station is Cressing station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include William Julien Courtauld Hospital (3.5 miles west) and Laundry & Mangle Museum (2 miles east). For a walk, there’s Belcher's and Broadfield Woods.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Halls, stores and units around places like Perry Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
