About our mastic sealing in Thorpe Green
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Thorpe Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Thorpe Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Questions we’re asked in Thorpe Green
Will you take on a block within reach of Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does the sea air around Thorpe Green change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you cover Thorpe Green?
Yes. We cover Thorpe Green, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thorpe Green
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Older rural buildings around Thorpe Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- CHAS accredited contractor

What else we do in Thorpe Green
Mastic sealing in Thorpe Green: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Thorpe Green counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first. Rainfall across the South East, Thorpe Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church of St Michael, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For agents with blocks near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, 1.2 miles south of Thorpe Green, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. If your remit includes a building such as Rolph CofE Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

What affects the price in Thorpe Green
These are the things that shape the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
