About our mastic sealing in Charlton
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we’re called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and no planned programme for sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Charlton from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Charlton, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Charlton
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Site managers at schools like Littleton CofE Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Commercial clients in Charlton
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.

Charlton: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Upper Halliford station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does your area include sites such as Sunbury International Business Centre, near Charlton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Charlton, Sunbury International Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
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 long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Charlton
At about 16 miles from central London, Charlton is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Charlton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you look after a block within reach of Upper Halliford station (0.6 miles east of Charlton), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
