Mastic sealing in Picketts Lock
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. For commercial sealant work in Picketts Lock, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
When to call us in Picketts Lock
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- No planned programme for sealant
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you look after a block within reach of Ponders End station (1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their public liability cover
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Failed sealant in a building in Picketts Lock can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Questions about Picketts Lock
Can you work at a site such as Dominion Business Park, by Picketts Lock?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Picketts Lock, Dominion Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work in a care setting near Picketts Lock go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you cover Picketts Lock?
Yes. We take on work across Picketts Lock, with one number for every area we cover.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
