Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Mitcham
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Mitcham 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. 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.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. In Mitcham, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Public liability insurance in place
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. In Mitcham, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Request a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Common questions from Mitcham clients
Can you work at a site such as Willow Lane Industrial Estate, by Mitcham?
Yes, sites like Willow Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Mitcham. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you work in a care home in Mitcham without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you cover Mitcham?
Yes. Mitcham falls within our area, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Mitcham
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Mitcham Eastfields station, 0.5 miles to the north of Mitcham, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
