Mastic sealing in Bandonhill, done properly

On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. For commercial sealant work in Bandonhill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Bandonhill

Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • Damp patches beside frames
  • Occupiers reporting cold air round windows

Site managers at schools like High View Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Aftercare for building managers

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Reduce knocks to communal area joints
  • Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
  • Start inspections with the most exposed faces
  • Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings

If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.

Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

How a job runs

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For a job in Bandonhill, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

  1. First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
  2. We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
  3. The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
  4. We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Getting a fixed quote

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

When to bring in a 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.

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Mastic sealing in Bandonhill: the local picture

Blocks in London are typically run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We fit the programme to your notice periods. There are six care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Bandonhill. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.

With historic buildings such as Addington Palace, 4 miles to the east of Bandonhill, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Bandonhill should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Buildings close to stations like Waddon station, 0.7 miles to the east of Bandonhill, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

What the job involves on each surface

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.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

What sets the cost

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Access and working height
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • The total length or number of joints

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
