About our mastic sealing in Hackbridge
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Hackbridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
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, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Common questions from Hackbridge clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Quoting for work in Hackbridge
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.

Common problems we fix in Hackbridge
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Buildings close to stations like Mitcham Eastfields station, 0.5 miles to the north of Hackbridge, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
