Mastic sealing for Sidcup sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In Sidcup, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Mastic sealing in Sidcup
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sidcup first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Across Greater London, Sidcup included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why act early in Sidcup
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

FAQs: Sidcup
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sidcup, such as Green Lane Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sidcup, Green Lane Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work in a care home near Sidcup with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How many days will you need on site?
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. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Blocks and managed buildings in Sidcup
There are 15 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Sidcup. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents. For a London block, the agent or landlord usually handles notices to residents and access to flats. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Older community buildings, Holy Trinity Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Sidcup station (to the north of Sidcup) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus (to the north-west of Sidcup) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
