How we handle mastic sealing in Clay Hill
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and no planned programme for sealant, across communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Clay Hill, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Clay Hill can form part of a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

FAQs: Clay Hill
Can you quote for a block close to Gordon Hill station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you work at a site such as Enfield Retail Park, by Clay Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Clay Hill, Enfield Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
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. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
