Mastic sealing in Iwade
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Mastic sealing in Iwade, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and worn sealant at communal door frames, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Iwade first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In a smaller place such as Iwade, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Iwade
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Work in places the size of Iwade is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Common problems we fix in Iwade
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Iwade: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Kemsley station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work at a site such as Newington Enterprise Centre, by Iwade?
Yes, sites like Newington Enterprise Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Iwade. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
