About our mastic sealing in Aldborough Hatch
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Aldborough Hatch it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Across Greater London, Aldborough Hatch included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to call us in Aldborough Hatch
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Peter, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

What else we do in Aldborough Hatch
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldborough Hatch
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Aldborough Hatch takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Common questions from Aldborough Hatch clients
Can you work in a care home near Aldborough Hatch with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
We manage a building near Goodmayes station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
