Mastic sealing near Little Venice
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
About our mastic sealing in Little Venice
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Little Venice? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Little Venice can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

When to call us in Little Venice
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, 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.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Schools and community buildings such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. In Little Venice, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Little Venice where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
We manage a building near London Paddington station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
