Mastic sealing across Coombe
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

How we handle mastic sealing in Coombe
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Coombe is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a London area such as Coombe, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Coombe takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
What we are called out for in Coombe
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Older buildings near Coombe, from historic houses such as Addington Palace, 1.3 miles east of Coombe, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Planned mastic for Coombe portfolios
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents. Coombe has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Schools and community buildings such as Coombe Wood School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as South Croydon station, 1 mile west of Coombe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

FAQs: Coombe
Do you take on jobs in Coombe where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near South Croydon station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
