Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Castle Green
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with occupiers reporting cold air round windows and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Castle Green, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a London area such as Castle Green, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Castle Green as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Looking after buildings in and around Castle Green
The 2 miles around Castle Green include three care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Buildings close to stations like Barking Riverside station (to the south of Castle Green) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you are responsible for a building such as St John the Divine, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Questions we’re asked in Castle Green
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you quote for a block close to Barking Riverside station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and 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.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Castle Green
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Look out for the following:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Schools and community buildings such as Jo Richardson Community School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Quoting for work in Castle Green
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
