Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
How we handle mastic sealing in Goodmayes
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you’re dealing with water getting in round frames after rain and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Goodmayes it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.
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.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In Goodmayes, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Questions about Goodmayes
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Goodmayes station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
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 will confirm the approach in the quote.
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, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you cover Goodmayes?
Yes. Sites across Goodmayes are covered, with one number for every area we cover.

What else we do in Goodmayes
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Do you need mastic sealing in Goodmayes?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Water getting in round frames after rain
If you own or manage units on a site such as Grove Farm Retail Park (0.6 miles north-east of Goodmayes), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
