Mastic sealing in Headstone
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, 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 have old repairs sealed over failed mastic and no planned programme for sealant, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Headstone it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For managing agents in Headstone, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Headstone Lane station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is Headstone in your area?
Yes. Headstone falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
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 guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Planning a London job such as one in Headstone starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will 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.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Ask for a quote
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When to call us in Headstone
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
For owners of several units at places like Waverley Industrial Park, 1 mile south-east of Headstone, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
