About our mastic sealing in Pratling Street
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Pratling Street first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Pratling Street, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What affects the price in Pratling Street
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Pratling Street: questions and answers
Is Pratling Street too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Aylesford station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
