Mastic sealing in Gipsy 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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Whoever orders the work in Gipsy Hill, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a London area such as Gipsy Hill, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Gipsy Hill can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions about Gipsy Hill
Will you work in a care home in Gipsy Hill without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Is Hamilton Road Industrial Estate, near Gipsy Hill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Gipsy Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
