How we handle mastic sealing in Stocks Green
Across Stocks Green and the rest of Essex, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and communal area joints that look neglected. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stocks Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Stocks Green, 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 sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.

What else we do in Stocks Green
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Stocks Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

FAQs: Stocks Green
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Kelvedon station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Threshelfords Business Park, near Stocks Green, within your area?
Yes, sites like Threshelfords Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Stocks Green. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is Stocks Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Stocks Green, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
For owners and agents in Stocks Green
Stocks Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Stocks Green lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Kelvedon station, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Stocks Green, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Feering Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stocks Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
