Common questions from Underriver clients
Can you quote for a block close to Hildenborough station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Underriver off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Mastic sealing in Underriver
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. For commercial sealant work in Underriver, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Underriver, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Planned mastic for Underriver portfolios
Underriver is about 22 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Underriver sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For agents with blocks near Hildenborough station, 2.3 miles south of Underriver, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For a school such as Sevenoaks Preparatory School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What affects the price in Underriver
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we’re called out for in Underriver
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Kent - Tonbridge (4.2 miles south-east of Underriver) is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Underriver may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
