Common questions from Monks Orchard clients
Can you quote for a block close to Elmers End station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. 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
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How we handle mastic sealing in Monks Orchard
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draught complaints from residents or tenants and worn sealant at communal door frames. For commercial sealant work in Monks Orchard, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Mastic sealing in Monks Orchard: the local picture
Seven care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Monks Orchard. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. 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.
With historic buildings such as Addington Palace (to the south of Monks Orchard) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Monks Orchard should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you are responsible for a building such as St George The Martyr Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Monks Orchard can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.

When to call us in Monks Orchard
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Property owners at sites such as Chaffinch Business Park, 1 mile north of Monks Orchard, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
