Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Charlton outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you work in a care home in Charlton without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Charlton
For blocks and buildings in Charlton and across Hertfordshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts at frames across a block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Charlton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For owners with a single building near Charlton, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Charlton as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. 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. For a building around Charlton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
For owners and agents in Charlton
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Charlton. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Charlton is about 31 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Older community buildings, St Mary's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as Highbury Infant School and Nursery, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Charlton
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you look after a block within reach of Hitchin station, which lies north-east of Charlton, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Around Charlton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
