About our mastic sealing in North Lee
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in North Lee it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near North Lee, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in North Lee as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Around North Lee, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common questions from North Lee clients
Will you work in a care home in North Lee without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is a smaller place like North Lee outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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 confirm the approach in the quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
