Questions we’re asked in Northumberland Heath
Is Madford Trade Park, near Northumberland Heath, within your area?
Yes. We cover Northumberland Heath and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Madford Trade Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Barnehurst station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Northumberland Heath
Across Northumberland Heath and the rest of Greater London, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Northumberland Heath is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic sealing around Northumberland Heath: how the place shapes the job

What happens if it’s left?

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Do you need mastic sealing in Northumberland Heath?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damp patches beside frames
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 4.3 miles south-west of Northumberland Heath, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. 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’re 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.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
