If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and draughts at frames across a block, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in St Margarets is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near St Margarets need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.

Related advice
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter typically 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.
Questions we’re asked in St Margarets
We manage a building near St Margarets (Herts) station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is St Margarets off your patch?
Not at all. St Margarets is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Planned mastic for St Margarets portfolios
St Margarets is about 20 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. St Margarets is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Site managers at schools like The Cranbourne Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you’re responsible for a building such as Parish Church of St Andrew, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If you look after a block within reach of St Margarets (Herts) station (under half a mile east of St Margarets), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. For buildings around smaller places like St Margarets, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
