Mastic sealing in Kingsland
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and draughts at frames across a block, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Kingsland, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Across Greater London, Kingsland included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Looking after buildings in and around Kingsland
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents. Kingsland has 11 care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Trustees of buildings like Holy Trinity Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Buildings close to stations like Dalston Junction station (less than half a mile north-east of Kingsland) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Common questions from Kingsland clients
Do you work in occupied care homes around Kingsland?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you take on jobs in Kingsland where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- 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.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
