Mastic sealing in Thames View Estate
Owners and agents normally 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. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Thames View Estate, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a London area such as Thames View Estate, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Blocks and managed buildings in Thames View Estate
Thames View Estate has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Blocks in London are normally run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Barking Riverside station (0.7 miles south-east of Thames View Estate) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Christ Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Thames View Infants, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Can work in a care setting near Thames View Estate go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you work in Thames View Estate?
Yes. We cover Thames View Estate, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Thames View Estate, 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 product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
