Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lee
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lee it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a London area such as Lee, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Lee: questions and answers
Can work in a care setting near Lee go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
