Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Burlington Estate

Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, 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 have communal area joints that look neglected and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Burlington Estate from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.

For managing agents in Burlington Estate, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. 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. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Burlington Estate takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

What you get with us

  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Colour agreed before work starts
  • Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In Burlington Estate, 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.

  1. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Honest limits

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first
  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint

If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms

How the job changes by surface

Window and door perimeters on blocks

On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.

Planned maintenance

Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.

Questions we’re asked in Burlington Estate

Do you take on jobs in Burlington Estate where loading and access are tightly controlled?

Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for

Can you quote for a block close to Bond Street station?

Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.

Can weather delay the job?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Can you reseal a whole block or estate?

We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

General trades versus a specialist

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.

Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
