Mastic sealing in Vale of Health
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. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and movement joints with sealant missing. Most enquiries from Vale of Health start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Quoting for work in Vale of Health
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Common questions from Vale of Health clients
Will you take on work at estates like Regis Road Business Park, close to Vale of Health?
Yes. We cover Vale of Health and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Regis Road Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Vale of Health?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Vale of Health, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Get a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Failed sealant in a building in Vale of Health can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
