Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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. Planning a London job such as one in Hackney Marshes starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Mastic sealing in Hackney Marshes
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hackney Marshes, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
London’s ULEZ covers every borough, and parking and loading rules vary street by street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we are called out for in Hackney Marshes
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you manage student housing near a university such as Loughborough University London (0.7 miles south-east of Hackney Marshes), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Common questions from Hackney Marshes clients
Will you take on work at estates like Orient Industrial Park, close to Hackney Marshes?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hackney Marshes, Orient Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can work in a care setting near Hackney Marshes go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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 tell you how we’d approach it.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Commercial clients in Hackney Marshes
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, 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 example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
