External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Mastic sealing in Merton Abbey, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve worn sealant at communal door frames and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. For commercial sealant work in Merton Abbey, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For managing agents in Merton Abbey, 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 is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Merton Abbey
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Questions about Merton Abbey
Do you cover business parks and estates near Merton Abbey, such as Priory Retail Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Merton Abbey and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Priory Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Leave it or put it right?
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 Merton Abbey, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Merton Abbey
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damp patches beside frames
Landlords with units on estates such as Priory Retail Park (to the north of Merton Abbey) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
