Mastic sealing for Thundridge sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Thundridge
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Property owners at sites such as Thundridge Business Park, under half a mile north-west of Thundridge, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and window mastic that has split and shrunk.

Smaller jobs around Thundridge can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.

Common questions from Thundridge clients
Is Thundridge Business Park, near Thundridge, within your area?
Yes. We cover Thundridge and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Thundridge Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Ware station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
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.
