Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Botany Bay, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Botany Bay
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have draughts at frames across a block and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Botany Bay it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
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:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Questions about Botany Bay
Does your area include sites such as Sopers Road Industrial Estate, near Botany Bay?
Yes. We cover Botany Bay and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Sopers Road Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Crews Hill station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Looking after buildings in and around Botany Bay
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We work to your notice and access plan.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Crews Hill station, 1 mile north-east of Botany Bay, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Sopers Road Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles to the north of Botany Bay, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Schools and community buildings such as St. John's Senior School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Botany Bay is about 3 miles south-east of Potters Bar, in Greater London. Anywhere in EN2, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.
