How we handle mastic sealing in Maypole
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts at frames across a block and damp patches beside frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Maypole is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why act early in Maypole
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Maypole, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Block-wide mastic in Maypole
Blocks in London are normally run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Historic properties like Lullingstone Castle (to the east of Maypole) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For a school such as Chelsfield Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you look after a block within reach of Knockholt station, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Maypole, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Maypole is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Maypole use us for work on mastic joints. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places. Sites around London have their own page, about 14 miles away.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions about Maypole
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
We manage a building near Knockholt station. Can you help?
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 reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you cover Maypole?
Yes. Maypole is in our area and the rest of Greater London. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
