Mastic sealing in Norwood New Town

Across Norwood New Town 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. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Norwood New Town tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Across Greater London, Norwood New Town 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.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Norwood New Town

Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
  • Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
  • Failed external movement joints
  • Occupiers reporting cold air round windows

For owners of several units at places like Hamilton Road Industrial Estate (0.6 miles north of Norwood New Town), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Before you book anyone

  • Proof of insurance
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

What sets the cost

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Access and working height
  • Working within restricted access windows
  • Travel to remote or island sites

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

What to include in your enquiry

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • When you need the work done
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

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 occupiers notice. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Norwood New Town takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What you get with us

  • One contact handling all your sites
  • Fully insured
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

How a job runs

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Norwood New Town can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

Getting a fixed quote

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Common questions from Norwood New Town clients

Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?

Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it

Is Hamilton Road Industrial Estate, near Norwood New Town, within your area?

Yes, sites like Hamilton Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Norwood New Town. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?

In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

How long does a job like this take?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

How do you choose the sealant?

The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

How long do sealant joints last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

What we can’t put right

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
  • Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint

If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • External wall and movement joints

For managing agents and facilities managers

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
