- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing

How we handle mastic sealing in Bishopsgate
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is no planned programme for sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bishopsgate tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Bishopsgate, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Surface by surface
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.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial clients in Bishopsgate
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units 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.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Bishopsgate: questions and answers
Is The Green Business Centre, near Bishopsgate, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Bishopsgate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as The Green Business Centre included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near Egham 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 do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Bishopsgate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing in Bishopsgate: the local picture
Bishopsgate is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Bishopsgate is about 22 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Older community buildings, Royal Chapel of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you look after a block within reach of Egham station, which lies east of Bishopsgate, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Property owners at sites such as The Green Business Centre, 2.3 miles to the east of Bishopsgate, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
