Mastic sealing for Acton sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
About our mastic sealing in Acton
For blocks and buildings in Acton and across Greater London, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. If you are dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Acton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mastic sealing in Acton: the local picture
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Buildings close to stations like Acton Central station, less than half a mile south-east of Acton, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. With historic buildings such as Gunnersbury Park, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Acton, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Acton should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Student accommodation around universities such as Richmond American University London, 1.2 miles to the south of Acton, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Acton
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Why us?
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Failed material removed, not covered up
Questions we’re asked in Acton
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Acton Central station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does your area include sites such as Victoria Industrial Estate, near Acton?
Yes, sites like Victoria Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Acton. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. 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 Acton can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
