About our mastic sealing in Friday Hill
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Friday Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Friday Hill: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Will you work in a care home in Friday Hill without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Quoting for work in Friday Hill
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Common problems we fix in Friday Hill
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Failed external movement joints
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Landlords with units on estates such as Cork Tree Retail Park (to the west of Friday Hill) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
