After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
About our mastic sealing in Grange Mills
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 have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Grange Mills 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. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. In Grange Mills, 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.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

FAQs: Grange Mills
Do you take on jobs in Grange Mills where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you quote for a block close to Balham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
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 confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you work in Grange Mills?
Yes. We cover Grange Mills, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
