Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Isleworth
For blocks and buildings in Isleworth and across Greater London, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and failed external movement joints, across shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Isleworth first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What we’re called out for in Isleworth
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their public liability cover
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

Isleworth: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you quote for a block close to Isleworth station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you work in Isleworth?
Yes. We cover Isleworth, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Isleworth
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Failed sealant in a building in Isleworth can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- CHAS accredited
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
