Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Romford can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
How we handle mastic sealing in Romford
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Romford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why act early in Romford
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 it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Public liability insurance in place
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Planned mastic for Romford portfolios
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.
Historic properties like Hare Hall, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Romford, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Schools and community buildings such as Concordia Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For agents with blocks near Romford station, under half a mile to the south-east of Romford, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Romford is about 12 miles west of Basildon, in Greater London. We send applicators to Romford for mastic joints. Romford is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 13 miles away.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Romford: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Romford, such as Rom Valley Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Romford, Rom Valley Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
