Questions about North Ockendon
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Ockendon station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Horndon Industrial Estate, near North Ockendon, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around North Ockendon, Horndon Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.

How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How we handle mastic sealing in North Ockendon
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and draughts at frames across a block, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover North Ockendon? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
London’s ULEZ covers every borough, and parking and loading rules vary street by street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in North Ockendon takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Blocks and managed buildings in North Ockendon
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We work to your notice and access plan.
For owners of several units at places like Horndon Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles north-east of North Ockendon, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary Magdalene among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Hare Hall (to the north-west of North Ockendon) in the wider area, owners of older properties around North Ockendon should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Building owners, agents and FMs in North Ockendon
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
