Advice
Mastic sealing in Stratford St Mary, done properly

For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and worn sealant at communal door frames, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stratford St Mary first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around smaller places like Stratford St Mary, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 56 miles from Stratford St Mary. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Why act early in Stratford St Mary
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Stratford St Mary may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
