Mastic sealing across Furzedown

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Our process

Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. 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. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Getting a fixed quote

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.

Advice

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Furzedown

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve failed external movement joints and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Searching for sealant specialists in Furzedown? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What happens if it’s left?

Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Furzedown takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

  • Commercial sealant work since 2005
  • Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
  • CHAS accredited
  • Fully insured, including public liability cover

Signs you need mastic sealing in Furzedown

In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • Water getting in round frames after rain
  • Movement joints with sealant missing
  • Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out

If you own or manage units on a site such as Mitcham Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles south of Furzedown, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Before you book anyone

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

How to choose a sealant contractor

Furzedown has six 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.

Maintenance after handover

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
  • List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
  • Start inspections with the most exposed faces
  • Track which buildings were done and when

Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.

Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Furzedown: questions and answers

We manage a building near Tooting station. Can you help?

Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.

Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?

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 will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for

What paperwork can you provide?

Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

How long before the joints can be used?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?

In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

How do you reach windows on upper floors?

Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.

Do you work with property factors and landlords?

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.

Surface by surface

External movement joints

Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.

Tenement and older buildings

Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Furzedown

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
