Advice
Mastic sealing in Ewell Minnis
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ewell Minnis, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Ewell Minnis, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Around Ewell Minnis, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Kearsney station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Ewell Minnis too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Ewell Minnis can form part of a wider programme.
