Your questions answered
Is Tolleshunt Knights off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for a block close to Kelvedon 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.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
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. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Mastic sealing around Tolleshunt Knights: how the place shapes the job
Tolleshunt Knights sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Tolleshunt Knights lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Buildings close to stations like Kelvedon station (to the north-west of Tolleshunt Knights) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as Beckingham Business Park (2.6 miles south of Tolleshunt Knights), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Tolleshunt Knights, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
