For owners and agents in Chase Cross
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
With historic buildings such as Hare Hall, 2 miles south-east of Chase Cross, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Chase Cross should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For a school such as Bower Park Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Trustees of buildings like St James can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

About our mastic sealing in Chase Cross
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected. Whoever orders the work in Chase Cross, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Across Greater London, Chase Cross included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Chase Cross, 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.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Chase Cross: questions and answers
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
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 will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you take on work at estates like Rom Valley Retail Park, close to Chase Cross?
Yes. We cover Chase Cross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Rom Valley Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Chase Cross in your area?
Yes. We cover Chase Cross, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Failed sealant in a building in Chase Cross can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Log resealing dates block by block
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
