About our mastic sealing in Coldharbour
Across Coldharbour and the rest of Greater London, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Coldharbour is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a London area such as Coldharbour, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Coldharbour
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Site managers at schools like Mottingham Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Common questions from Coldharbour clients
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Will you take on work at estates like Green Lane Business Park, close to Coldharbour?
Yes, sites like Green Lane Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Coldharbour. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
