What the job involves on each surface

Mastic sealing in Up Nately, done properly
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 along with complaints. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Up Nately from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Up Nately, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Log resealing dates block by block
- 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.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Planned mastic for Up Nately portfolios
Central London is about 42 miles from Up Nately. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Up Nately included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For owners of several units at places like Hatch Industrial Park, 1.6 miles to the west of Up Nately, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Schools and community buildings such as Robert May's School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hook station, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Up Nately, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Up Nately
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Up Nately, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Common questions from Up Nately clients
Is Up Nately off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Hook station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
