Mastic sealing across Oaker Hill
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Oaker Hill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Oaker Hill carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Oaker Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Oaker Hill, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Hunnable Industrial Estate, near Oaker Hill?
Yes, sites like Hunnable Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Oaker Hill. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Oaker Hill too far out for you?
No. Places such as Oaker Hill are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Oaker Hill
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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 and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Oaker Hill are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Oaker Hill. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
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.
Mastic sealing in Oaker Hill: the local picture
Central London is about 46 miles from Oaker Hill. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Oaker Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Older buildings near Oaker Hill, from historic houses such as Hedingham Castle (3.2 miles south-east of Oaker Hill) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
