Mastic sealing near Barking Riverside
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In Barking Riverside, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.

Advice
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
For owners and agents in Barking Riverside
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange. There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Barking Riverside. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
If you are responsible for a building such as Christ Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Site managers at schools like George Carey Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

FAQs: Barking Riverside
Will you take on a block within reach of Barking Riverside station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
