About our mastic sealing in St Paul's Cray
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and a mix of products and colours from past repairs. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in St Paul's Cray, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a London area such as St Paul's Cray, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in St Paul's Cray as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Other services in St Paul's Cray
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
What affects the price in St Paul's Cray
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. In St Paul's Cray, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in St Paul's Cray, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
