How we handle mastic sealing in Plashet
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you’re dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and damp patches beside frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Plashet is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Across Greater London, Plashet 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Why deal with it now?
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. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.

Common questions from Plashet clients
Is Beckton Triangle Retail Park, near Plashet, within your area?
Yes. We cover Plashet and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Beckton Triangle Retail Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Is Plashet in your area?
Yes. Sites across Plashet are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
