Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
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.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Mastic sealing in Upton: the local picture
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange. 21 care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Upton. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Landlords with units on estates such as Maryland Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Upton) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Trustees of buildings like St Peter's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If your remit includes a building such as Elmhurst Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Upton: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you work at a site such as Maryland Industrial Estate, by Upton?
Yes, sites like Maryland Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Upton. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Planning a London job such as one in Upton starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
