Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Clapham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
About our mastic sealing in Clapham
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Clapham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Clapham, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
FAQs: Clapham
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Gosling Croft Business Centre, close to Clapham?
Yes. We cover Clapham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gosling Croft Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, 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 we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Balcony and threshold joints

Blocks and managed buildings in Clapham
At about 48 miles from central London, Clapham is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Clapham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
If you look after a block within reach of Goring-By-Sea station (2.1 miles south of Clapham), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Property owners at sites such as Gosling Croft Business Centre, less than half a mile to the south of Clapham, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
