About our mastic sealing in Monkhams
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Monkhams, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In Monkhams, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.

- Buildings are completed in turn.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Monkhams
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Monkhams can form part of a wider programme.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
