When to call us in Wandsworth
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Look out for the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Anne's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

About our mastic sealing in Wandsworth
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wandsworth tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Across Greater London, Wandsworth included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Looking after buildings in and around Wandsworth
For a London block, the agent or landlord usually handles notices to residents and access to flats. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents. The 2 miles around Wandsworth include three care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
If you look after a block within reach of Wandsworth Town station (under half a mile north-east of Wandsworth), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you own or manage units on a site such as Chartwell Business Park, 0.5 miles north of Wandsworth, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Nearby you’ll also find Southside Wandsworth (less than half a mile west) and Antique Breadboard Museum (1.4 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Battersea Park Lake and Henman Hill.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. In Wandsworth, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- 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.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
