Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Rural sites near South Hanningfield may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Questions about South Hanningfield
Is South Hanningfield too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as South Hanningfield 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.
Can you quote for a block close to Wickford station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. South Hanningfield can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like South Hanningfield, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- A fixed quote before work starts
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in South Hanningfield
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
