Questions about Coulsdon

Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?

Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for

Will you take on a block within reach of Coulsdon South station?

Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

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 will confirm with the quote.

How long does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

How we handle mastic sealing in Coulsdon

For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Coulsdon carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and complaints coming in block by block. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Coulsdon it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

London’s ULEZ covers every borough, and parking and loading rules vary street by street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What happens if it’s left?

Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In Coulsdon, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.

Cost follows what’s involved: 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.

Why appoint us

  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Fully insured

Cost factors for mastic joints

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Joint width, depth and condition

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Sending details for a quote

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Any specification or named product
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • The site address and postcode

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Coulsdon

Coulsdon has nine care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. 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.

Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Andrew's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Older buildings near Coulsdon, from historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (4.9 miles north-west of Coulsdon) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Buildings close to stations like Coulsdon South station (less than half a mile south-west of Coulsdon) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Should maintenance staff do it?

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Our process

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
  2. A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
  3. The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
  4. Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
  5. Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
  6. Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Before we start on site

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Confirm the product named in the specification
