Need mastic sealing in Hudnall Corner?
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Rural sites near Hudnall Corner may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, 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. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Quoting for work in Hudnall Corner
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Questions we are asked in Hudnall Corner
Is Hudnall Corner off your patch?
Not at all. Hudnall Corner is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hudnall Corner portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long does a typical visit 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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
