About our mastic sealing in Cheam
For blocks and buildings in Cheam and across Greater London, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve water getting in round frames after rain and open joints in brickwork or panels, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Most enquiries from Cheam start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Across Greater London, Cheam 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.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Quoting for work in Cheam
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Can you quote for a block close to Cheam station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Cheam?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Andrew can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
