Need mastic sealing in Thornton Heath?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What affects the price in Thornton Heath
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Thornton Heath
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you are dealing with estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Thornton Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Across Greater London, Thornton Heath included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Common problems we fix in Thornton Heath
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damp patches beside frames
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Landlords with units on estates such as Thornton Road Industrial Estate (1 mile south-west of Thornton Heath) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
