A single leaking joint is often how a building in West End first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like West End, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

Why it’s worth doing now in West End
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like West End, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Yes. We cover West End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Birchwood Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Planned mastic for West End portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, West End included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. West End is about 18 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Schools and community buildings such as Essendon CofE (VC) Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Student blocks close to universities like University of Hertfordshire (under half a mile north-west of West End) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
West End is about 3 miles east of Hatfield, in Hertfordshire. We cover West End and the rest of Hertfordshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 371 places in Hertfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, around 18 miles from West End.
Postcode districts covered here: AL9. If your building is just outside West End, we cover Essendon (1 mile east), Hatfield Hyde (2 miles north-west), Little Berkhamsted (2 miles east), Letty Green (2 miles north-east) and Bell Bar (2 miles south). Nearby towns on our patch include Watford (12 miles south-west), Hemel Hempstead (12 miles west), Stevenage (10 miles north), St Albans (7 miles west), Welwyn Garden City (3 miles north) and Harpenden (9 miles north-west).
Around West End
We work on buildings around Brookmans Park, The Candlestick pub and Onslow St Audrey's School. For rail, the closest station is Hatfield station, about 2 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Bunker at Hatfield Police Station (2.9 miles west) and Howard Centre (3.1 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Gobions Wood.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Cost factors for mastic joints

- Whether the work must be split into stages

Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
