Common questions from Sacombe Green clients
Is Sacombe Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Sacombe Green are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near Watton-At-Stone station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Mastic sealing in Sacombe Green, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve complaints coming in block by block and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Sacombe Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Sacombe Green, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Sacombe Green as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Converted and older buildings near places like Sacombe Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Rural sites near Sacombe Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Mastic sealing in Sacombe Green: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Sacombe Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Sacombe Green is about 25 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
For a school such as Ralph Sadleir Middle School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Property owners at sites such as Thundridge Business Park (1.9 miles south-east of Sacombe Green) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Historic properties like Aston Bury (4.4 miles west of Sacombe Green) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
