Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Mastic sealing in Heron Quays, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you’re dealing with cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Heron Quays? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Block-wide mastic in Heron Quays
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Heron Quays. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Site managers at schools like Seven Mills Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Peter's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Poplar Business Park, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Heron Quays, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Getting a fixed quote

Questions we are asked in Heron Quays
Is Poplar Business Park, near Heron Quays, within your area?
Yes, sites like Poplar Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Heron Quays. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
