How we handle mastic sealing in Three Bridges
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and communal area joints that look neglected. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Three Bridges 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.
Places the size of Three Bridges normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why act early in Three Bridges
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. For buildings in places like Three Bridges, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Quoting for work in Three Bridges
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.

Common questions from Three Bridges clients
Does your area include sites such as Worth Corner Business Centre, near Three Bridges?
Yes, sites like Worth Corner Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Three Bridges. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Three Bridges outside your area?
Not at all. Three Bridges is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
