Mastic sealing in Bromley-by-Bow, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is no planned programme for sealant and damp patches beside frames. For commercial sealant work in Bromley-by-Bow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

FAQs: Bromley-by-Bow
Will you take on a block within reach of West Ham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
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.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
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.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Bromley-by-Bow, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
