How we handle mastic sealing in Paynes Green
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Paynes Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Paynes Green, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Paynes Green: questions and answers
Is Northlands Business Park, near Paynes Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Paynes Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Northlands Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Paynes Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
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.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Common problems we fix in Paynes Green
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- No planned programme for sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For agents with blocks near Ockley station, 2.1 miles north-east of Paynes Green, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Halls, stores and units around places like Paynes Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
