Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Mastic sealing in Stisted, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are window mastic that has split and shrunk and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stisted, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Stisted, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For owners and agents in Stisted
Central London is about 41 miles from Stisted. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Stisted is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Older community buildings, Parish Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners of several units at places like Lanham Business Park, 2 miles to the south of Stisted, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. For agents with blocks near Braintree Freeport station, 2.6 miles to the south-west of Stisted, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Stisted is about 2 miles east of Braintree, in Essex. Anywhere in CM77, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Stisted is one of 644 places in Essex on our list. London is covered too, around 41 miles from Stisted.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.

FAQs: Stisted
Is Stisted off your patch?
Not at all. Stisted is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Lanham Business Park, near Stisted, within your area?
Yes. We cover Stisted and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lanham Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
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 will confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Stisted, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
