Mastic sealing for Canning Town sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Mastic sealing in Canning Town, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Canning Town, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Across Greater London, Canning Town included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

FAQs: Canning Town
Can you work in a care home near Canning Town with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you take on a block within reach of Custom House station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Why act early in Canning Town
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
