Advice
How we handle mastic sealing in Tiptree Heath
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. If you’re dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and failed external movement joints, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Tiptree Heath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around smaller places like Tiptree Heath, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Why act early in Tiptree Heath

One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tiptree Heath. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
