Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Oliver's Battery
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints 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 Oliver's Battery, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Oliver's Battery, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Oliver's Battery clients
We manage a building near Shawford station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Oliver's Battery outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Do you need mastic sealing in Oliver's Battery?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Saint Mark's are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance

Frames, entrances and external joints in Oliver's Battery
Oliver's Battery sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Oliver's Battery lies roughly 63 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
For owners of several units at places like Bar End Industrial Estate (2 miles east of Oliver's Battery), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. For agents with blocks near Shawford station, 1.9 miles to the south-east of Oliver's Battery, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby.
