Mastic sealing for businesses in Petersham

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Should maintenance staff do it?

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.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

About our mastic sealing in Petersham

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Petersham from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Across Greater London, Petersham included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered

Can you quote for a block close to St Margarets (London) station?

Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.

Is St. George's Industrial Estate, near Petersham, within your area?

Yes. Our area takes in Petersham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as St. George's Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.

Will you just go over the old 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.

When is resealing likely to be due?

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

Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?

Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.

Honest limits

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units

If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Block-wide mastic in Petersham

For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.

For a school such as The Russell Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as St Margarets (London) station, 0.9 miles north-west of Petersham, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

What we’re called out for in Petersham

UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • Complaints coming in block by block
  • Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant

Owners of student blocks near St Mary's University (to the south-west of Petersham) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.

What to look for in a quote

  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • The named product and why it was chosen

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Building owners, agents and FMs in Petersham

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Petersham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

Surface by surface

External movement joints

External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.

Window and door perimeters on blocks

Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.

On site: what to expect

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Planning a London job such as one in Petersham starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. Failed mastic is removed completely.
  4. Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Before we start on site

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Flag any permit to work we will need
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Request a quote

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
