Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
How we handle mastic sealing in Redbridge
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Redbridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
London’s ULEZ covers every borough, and parking and loading rules vary street by street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Mastic sealing around Redbridge: points for this area
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We fit the programme to your notice periods. There are 19 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Redbridge. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
For a school such as Redbridge Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Trustees of buildings like Church of St Andrew can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Ilford station (1.4 miles south-east of Redbridge), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Redbridge
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Failed sealant in a building in Redbridge can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.

Questions we are asked in Redbridge
We manage a building near Ilford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you take on jobs in Redbridge where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Do you work in Redbridge?
Yes. We take on work across Redbridge, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
