Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios.

For commercial sealant work in Coldharbour, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For managing agents in Coldharbour, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.

FAQs: Coldharbour
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you cover business parks and estates near Coldharbour, such as Poplar Business Park?
Yes. We cover Coldharbour and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Poplar Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
For owners and agents in Coldharbour
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Coldharbour. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We work to your notice and access plan.
Older community buildings, All Saints Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Sunderland in London (under half a mile south-west of Coldharbour), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Landlords with units on estates such as Poplar Business Park (to the north of Coldharbour) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Coldharbour is about 2 miles north of Greenwich, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Coldharbour can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Greater London. Coldharbour is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for mastic joints.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Coldharbour
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why act early in Coldharbour
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Coldharbour takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
