Mastic sealing across Gunnersbury

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Gunnersbury?

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

  • Damp patches beside frames
  • The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • No planned programme for sealant

If you own or manage units on a site such as Kew Retail Park, which lies south of Gunnersbury, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Keeping the joints sound

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

  • Share your contractor requirements early
  • Protect low-level joints in entrances
  • Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts

Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.

Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

What sealant work can’t fix

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
  • Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Communal entrances and stairwells

For managing agents and facilities managers

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Gunnersbury can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

Doing it in-house

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Your questions answered

Do you take on jobs in Gunnersbury where loading and access are tightly controlled?

Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it

Can you work at a site such as Kew Retail Park, by Gunnersbury?

Yes. We cover Gunnersbury and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kew Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Do you need to see the site first?

Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.

Do you work with property factors and landlords?

Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

How a job runs

Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. In Gunnersbury, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. Buildings are completed in turn.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Getting a fixed quote

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
