How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Little Ilford
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have no planned programme for sealant and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Little Ilford from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For managing agents in Little Ilford, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in Little Ilford
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Your questions answered
Can you work in a care home near Little Ilford with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Does your area include sites such as Newbury Retail Park, near Little Ilford?
Yes, sites like Newbury Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Little Ilford. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
When to call us in Little Ilford
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If your remit includes a building such as Sir John Heron Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
