Questions we are asked in West Heath
Can work in a care setting near West Heath go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Abbey Wood station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
How long does a typical visit 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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How we handle mastic sealing in West Heath
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you have worn sealant at communal door frames and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Heath first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

What else we do in West Heath
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Mastic sealing in West Heath: the local picture
Blocks in London are normally run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from West Heath. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 2.9 miles south-west of West Heath, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Abbey Wood station, 1 mile to the north of West Heath, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Quoting for work in West Heath
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a job in West Heath, access comes first. 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
When to call us in West Heath
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Hillsgrove Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
