About our mastic sealing in Upton
Across Upton and the rest of Greater London, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Upton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a London area such as Upton, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
What we’re called out for in Upton
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Site managers at schools like Upland Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Your questions answered
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you work in occupied care homes around Upton?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry 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 long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Quoting for work in Upton
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
