When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
About our mastic sealing in Quendon
For blocks and buildings in Quendon and across Essex, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Quendon tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Quendon, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Quendon, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Quendon
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Quendon move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Your questions answered
Is Quendon too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Funstons Commercial Centre, by Quendon?
Yes. We cover Quendon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Funstons Commercial Centre. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
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’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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, which is what makes a joint last.

Mastic sealing around Quendon: how the place shapes the job
Quendon lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of Quendon are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you look after a block within reach of Newport (Essex) station (1.8 miles north of Quendon), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. With historic buildings such as Horham Hall, 4.6 miles east of Quendon, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Quendon should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
