Mastic sealing near Richmond
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Mastic sealing in Richmond
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. The enquiries we see most involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and leaks at window and door perimeters, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Richmond from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a London area such as Richmond, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Is Ivybridge Retail Park, near Richmond, within your area?
Yes, sites like Ivybridge Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Richmond. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you take on a block within reach of Richmond station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
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 do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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 reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Block-wide mastic in Richmond
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
If you’re responsible for a building such as The Vineyard Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Owners of student blocks near University of London, 2 miles to the north-west of Richmond, can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Richmond, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Richmond
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. 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.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Richmond
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Look out for the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Landlords with units on estates such as Ivybridge Retail Park, 1.3 miles to the west of Richmond, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Proof of insurance
