Mastic sealing in Great Lea Common, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are window mastic that has split and shrunk and worn sealant at communal door frames.

What else we do in Great Lea Common
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. Older rural buildings around Great Lea Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

What we need to price the job

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Great Lea Common outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Great Lea Common, such as Reading International Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Great Lea Common, Reading International Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. 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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
