How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Puttock's End are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- 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.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Mastic sealing in Puttock's End, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have window mastic that has split and shrunk and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Puttock's End is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Puttock's End tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Do you need mastic sealing in Puttock's End?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Complaints coming in block by block
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Stansted Airport station (2.4 miles north of Puttock's End) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Questions about Puttock's End
Is a smaller place like Puttock's End outside your area?
Not at all. Puttock's End is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Takeley Business Centre, close to Puttock's End?
Yes. Our area takes in Puttock's End and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Takeley Business Centre included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.

How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What affects the price in Puttock's End
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
