About our mastic sealing in Stansted Mountfitchet
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stansted Mountfitchet, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Our process
Site rules come first: 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, and each area is checked before we leave it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Stansted Mountfitchet need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Looking after buildings in and around Stansted Mountfitchet
Stansted Mountfitchet is about 31 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Stansted Mountfitchet included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
For agents with blocks near Stansted Mountfitchet station, under half a mile to the south-east of Stansted Mountfitchet, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For owners of several units at places like Riverside Business Park, which lies south of Stansted Mountfitchet, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, Church of St John the Evangelist among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Your questions answered
Is Riverside Business Park, near Stansted Mountfitchet, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Stansted Mountfitchet, Riverside Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Stansted Mountfitchet station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you cover Stansted Mountfitchet?
Yes. We cover Stansted Mountfitchet, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
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.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
