About our mastic sealing in Abbey Wood
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are communal area joints that look neglected and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Abbey Wood is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Across Greater London, Abbey Wood included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Abbey Wood: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Abbey Wood, such as Gateway Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Gateway Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Abbey Wood. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work in a care setting near Abbey Wood go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work in Abbey Wood?
Yes. We take on work across Abbey Wood, and the same phone number covers every area.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
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 will plan around them.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

On site: what to expect

The work itself normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.

- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
