Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In a town such as Ware, most jobs are single buildings. We start with your photographs, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ware
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ware, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Towns the size of Ware have a mix of blocks, flats over shops and small commercial buildings looked after by agents and landlords. Mastic around frames, external joints and communal doors ages and needs renewing.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we’re called out for in Ware
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ware station, less than half a mile to the south of Ware, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Proof of insurance
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. In a town like Ware, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Questions about Ware
Will you take on work at estates like Crane Mead Business Park, close to Ware?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ware, Crane Mead Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you take on a block within reach of Ware station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ware
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Paperwork matters too. 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.
Mastic sealing in Ware: the local picture
At about 22 miles from central London, Ware is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Ware 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 the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Schools and community buildings such as Christ Church CofE (VA) Primary School and Nursery need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older community buildings, Christ Church Ware among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
