Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Mastic sealing around Mill Meads: how the place shapes the job
The 2 miles around Mill Meads include 17 care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents. London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Site managers at schools like East London Science School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as West Ham station, 0.5 miles to the east of Mill Meads, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Landlords with units on estates such as Crescent Court Business Centre (to the south-east of Mill Meads) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Mill Meads is about 1 mile south of Stratford, in Greater London. We send applicators to Mill Meads for mastic joints. Mill Meads is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for mastic joints.

Mill Meads: questions and answers
Can you work in a care home near Mill Meads with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Mill Meads, such as Crescent Court Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Crescent Court Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Mill Meads. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.

Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
