Mastic sealing around Strawberry Hill: how the place shapes the job
Blocks in London are typically run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We work to your notice and access plan.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Newmans Shipyard & Business Park, less than half a mile north-east of Strawberry Hill, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Holy Trinity Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Mastic sealing in Strawberry Hill, done properly
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. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about complaints coming in block by block and water getting in round frames after rain, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Strawberry Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Strawberry Hill can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What else we do in Strawberry Hill
Do you need mastic sealing in Strawberry Hill?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Owners of student blocks near St Mary's University (to the south of Strawberry Hill) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
