Your questions answered
Will you work in a care home in Bulls Cross without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is Theobalds Enterprise Centre, near Bulls Cross, within your area?
Yes, sites like Theobalds Enterprise Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Bulls Cross. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How we handle mastic sealing in Bulls Cross
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you are dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bulls Cross from the first photos to the final walk-round, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Blocks in London are typically run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.

Older buildings near Bulls Cross, from historic houses such as Forty Hall, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Bulls Cross, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you are responsible for a building such as Jesus Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Quoting for work in Bulls Cross
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
