Mastic sealing across Roydon Hamlet
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Roydon Hamlet, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.

External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Questions we are asked in Roydon Hamlet
Is Roydon Hamlet off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on a block within reach of Roydon station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you need mastic sealing in Roydon Hamlet?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Failed external movement joints
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you look after a block within reach of Roydon station (1.7 miles north of Roydon Hamlet), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Proof of insurance
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
