About our mastic sealing in Surrey Canal
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about window mastic that has split and shrunk and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Surrey Canal 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.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- 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
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Surrey Canal. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Surrey Canal can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Advice
Questions about Surrey Canal
We manage a building near South Bermondsey station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can work in a care setting near Surrey Canal go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Failed sealant in a building in Surrey Canal can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Surrey Canal
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Typical triggers for a call:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damp patches beside frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you look after a block within reach of South Bermondsey station (less than half a mile north-west of Surrey Canal), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
