Mastic sealing in Gillette Corner, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve complaints coming in block by block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Gillette Corner, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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 where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. 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. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
