From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Hawkwell is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.

- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Mastic sealing in Hawkwell
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you’re dealing with estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hawkwell, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Hawkwell often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. For buildings in places like Hawkwell, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Hawkwell clients
Can you quote for a block close to Hockley station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you work at a site such as Airport Business Park, by Hawkwell?
Yes, sites like Airport Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hawkwell. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is Hawkwell in your area?
Yes. Hawkwell is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
