Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in South Ham
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in South Ham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Older buildings and conversions around places like South Ham mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs: South Ham
Can you work in a care home near South Ham with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is South Ham off your patch?
No. Places such as South Ham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

For owners of several units at places like West Ham Industrial Estate, which lies north of South Ham, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Trustees of buildings like Saint Peter's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
