Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Plaistow Green
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you are dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Plaistow Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For owners with a single building near Plaistow Green, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Plaistow Green: questions and answers
Is Ascot Business Park, near Plaistow Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Plaistow Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ascot Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Ascot station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Converted and older buildings near places like Plaistow Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Common problems we fix in Plaistow Green
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Peter, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Plaistow Green
Plaistow Green is about 25 miles from central London.

External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
