Signs you need mastic sealing in Adelphi
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you own or manage units on a site such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles east of Adelphi, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
Questions about Adelphi
Can you work at a site such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, by Adelphi?
Yes, sites like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Adelphi. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work in a care home near Adelphi with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you cover Adelphi?
Yes. Adelphi falls within our area, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Adelphi can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
