Blocks and managed buildings in Stoke-by-Nayland
Stoke-by-Nayland lies roughly 54 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If your remit includes a building such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Common questions from Stoke-by-Nayland clients
Is Stoke-by-Nayland off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Stoke-by-Nayland portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Older rural buildings around Stoke-by-Nayland move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
