Common problems we fix in Tattenhoe

Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
  • Draughts at frames across a block
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • A mix of products and colours from past repairs

Trustees of buildings like St Giles's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

What your quote should include

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Proof of insurance
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Mastic sealing in Tattenhoe, done properly

On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. For commercial sealant work in Tattenhoe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Older buildings and conversions around places like Tattenhoe mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Tattenhoe can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Several jobs near Tattenhoe can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Ask for a quote

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Cost factors for mastic joints

What shapes the price:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • The size and state of each joint
  • Distance, for remote addresses

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What to include in your enquiry

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • The product your specification calls for
  • When you need the work done

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

What happens if it’s left?

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Why clients in Tattenhoe choose us

  • Specification-led, product-correct work

Window and door perimeters on blocks

Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
