Mastic sealing in Pollards Hill, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about movement joints with sealant missing and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Pollards Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Across Greater London, Pollards Hill 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.
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.

We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For owners and agents in Pollards Hill
Pollards Hill has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
If you are responsible for a building such as St Oswald, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If your remit includes a building such as Kensington Avenue Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For owners of several units at places like Thornton Road Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Pollards Hill, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Pollards Hill is about 1 mile north of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. Pollards Hill sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Pollards Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Why act early in Pollards Hill
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In Pollards Hill, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
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 quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Pollards Hill clients
Do you work in occupied care homes around Pollards Hill?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
