About our mastic sealing in Ruislip
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ruislip from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Blocks and managed buildings in Ruislip
For a London block, the agent or landlord usually handles notices to residents and access to flats. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
Student accommodation around universities such as Buckinghamshire New University (3.7 miles south-west of Ruislip) is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Trustees of buildings like St Lawrence can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Why act early in Ruislip
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What affects the price in Ruislip
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photos of the problem areas
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
On site: what to expect
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, and the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Planning a London job such as one in Ruislip starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Related advice
Ruislip: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Braintree Road Industrial Estate, close to Ruislip?
Yes. Our area takes in Ruislip and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Braintree Road Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near West Ruislip station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
When to call us in Ruislip
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
If your remit includes a building such as Warrender Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
