Mastic sealing for North Cheam sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle mastic sealing in North Cheam
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with complaints coming in block by block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in North Cheam, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Across Greater London, North Cheam included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

North Cheam: questions and answers
Do you work in occupied care homes around North Cheam?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Quoting for work in North Cheam
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What we’re called out for in North Cheam
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Trustees of buildings like St Oswald Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
