Mastic sealing in Balham
For blocks and buildings in Balham and across Greater London, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is water getting in round frames after rain and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Balham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For managing agents in Balham, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For a job in Balham, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

FAQs: Balham
Do you work in occupied care homes around Balham?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Balham station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Do you work in Balham?
Yes. We take on work across Balham.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Balham
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
