Mastic sealing for Dormers Wells sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In Dormers Wells, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In Dormers Wells, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Common questions from Dormers Wells clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dormers Wells, such as Barratt Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Barratt Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dormers Wells. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Southall 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 will quote and plan to suit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
What we are called out for in Dormers Wells
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you look after a block within reach of Southall station, which lies south-west of Dormers Wells, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
