Your questions answered
We manage a building near Hackney Wick station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you take on jobs in Fish Island where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Mastic sealing in Fish Island
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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. If you’re dealing with the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Fish Island, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why act early in Fish Island
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Failed sealant in a building in Fish Island can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Fish Island. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need mastic sealing in Fish Island?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Property owners at sites such as Stour Road Industrial Estate (to the south of Fish Island) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
