Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
About our mastic sealing in Shreding Green
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and failed external movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shreding Green? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Shreding Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Rural sites near Shreding 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.

Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Shreding Green. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Common questions from Shreding Green clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Langley station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you take on work at estates like Canal Wharf Industrial Estate, close to Shreding Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Shreding Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Canal Wharf Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
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 we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Which sealant will you use?
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.

When to call us in Shreding Green
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Older community buildings, Church of St Peter among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Before you book anyone
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
