Why act early in Sibley's Green
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Sibley's Green, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How we handle mastic sealing in Sibley's Green
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Sibley's Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Sibley's Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units

Sibley's Green: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Stansted Airport station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is a smaller place like Sibley's Green outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. 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.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Looking after buildings in and around Sibley's Green
Central London is about 35 miles from Sibley's Green. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Sibley's Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
With historic buildings such as Horham Hall, 1.9 miles to the west of Sibley's Green, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Sibley's Green should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For a school such as Putteridge High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.

Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Common problems we fix in Sibley's Green
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.

- Leaks at window and door perimeters
