Why it’s worth doing now in Mildmay
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Mildmay, 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.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

How we handle mastic sealing in Mildmay
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve failed external movement joints and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Mildmay, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Across Greater London, Mildmay included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

Building owners, agents and FMs in Mildmay
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
Mastic sealing around Mildmay: what changes locally
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We plan around the notices and access you arrange. There are 11 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Mildmay. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Site managers at schools like Newington Green Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Dalston Kingsland station, less than half a mile to the east of Mildmay, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Mildmay is about 1 mile north of Hoxton, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Mildmay use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Greater London. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, including Mildmay.

Landmarks near Mildmay
Around Mildmay, our work takes us to commercial buildings near City of London Academy Highbury Grove, Highbury Fields and Army and Navy pub and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Mildmay itself: Dalston Kingsland station. A little further out are Clowns Gallery-Museum (0.6 miles south-east) and Hackney Walk (1.5 miles east). Not far away are Gillespie Park and Ludgate Hill.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Mildmay
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
If you own or manage units on a site such as Frogmore Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Mildmay, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

FAQs: Mildmay
Can you work at a site such as Frogmore Industrial Estate, by Mildmay?
Yes, sites like Frogmore Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Mildmay. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Dalston Kingsland station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
