Mastic sealing in Ashburton, done properly
Across Ashburton and the rest of Greater London, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Ashburton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For managing agents in Ashburton, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints

Mastic sealing around Ashburton: how the place shapes the job
For a London block, the agent or landlord usually handles notices to residents and access to flats. We plan around the notices and access you arrange. The 2 miles around Ashburton include five care or nursing homes. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
Older community buildings, Church of St Luke among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Norwood Junction station, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Ashburton, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. With historic buildings such as Addington Palace (to the south-east of Ashburton) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ashburton should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Common questions from Ashburton clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Norwood Junction station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Ashburton?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
