How we handle mastic sealing in Viables
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Viables, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Viables mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Viables
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Schools and community buildings such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

Common questions from Viables clients
Do you work in occupied care homes around Viables?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is Viables too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Viables is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
What we can’t put right
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:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Block-wide mastic in Viables
Viables has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
