About our mastic sealing in Perry Vale
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Perry Vale first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In a London area such as Perry Vale, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Questions about Perry Vale
Do you cover business parks and estates near Perry Vale, such as Clyde Vale Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Perry Vale and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Clyde Vale Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Forest Hill station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you cover Perry Vale?
Yes. Sites across Perry Vale are covered.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quoting for work in Perry Vale
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

When to bring in a specialist

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

When to call us in Perry Vale
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
If you are responsible for a building such as Christ Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
