Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. In Surrey Quays, 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.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Quoting for work in Surrey Quays
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Surrey Quays: questions and answers
Do you work in occupied care homes around Surrey Quays?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you take on a block within reach of Surrey Quays station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. 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 for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Surrey Quays
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draughts at frames across a block
Site managers at schools like Rotherhithe Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
