Commercial mastic work in Hackney Wick
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. If you have sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hackney Wick 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.
A lot of what we do in Hackney Wick is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Around Hackney Wick, as across the capital, commercial buildings range from converted period premises to recent office and mixed-use blocks, which means one visit can cover joints against stone, brickwork, coated aluminium and shop-fit panels. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hackney Wick
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. In Hackney Wick, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Hackney Wick can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Hackney Wick can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you take on work at estates like Hamlet Industrial Estate, close to Hackney Wick?
Yes. We cover Hackney Wick and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hamlet Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is Hackney Wick in your area?
Yes. Sites across Hackney Wick are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
When to call us in Hackney Wick
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges, so beads chalk, stiffen and lose their stretch. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
For premises near Hackney Wick station (under half a mile north-west of Hackney Wick), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
