Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

On site: what to expect

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around West Hyde can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Getting the site ready

  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Point out any areas we must not close

How we handle mastic sealing in West Hyde

On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from West Hyde start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

For owners with a single building near West Hyde, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

West Hyde: questions and answers

Is Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate, near West Hyde, within your area?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around West Hyde, Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Can you work in a care home near West Hyde with residents in?

Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.

How do you choose the sealant?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Do you take on small jobs?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

Is West Hyde in your area?

Yes. West Hyde is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

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.

Commercial clients in West Hyde

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around West Hyde. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Why deal with it now?

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Older rural buildings around West Hyde move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Why clients in West Hyde choose us

  • Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
  • Colour agreed before work starts
  • Fully insured, including public liability cover
  • Commercial sealant work since 2005

For owners and agents in West Hyde

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of West Hyde. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.

Schools and community buildings such as Maple Cross Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Thomas of Canterbury are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Doing it in-house

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Redoing a failed joint usually 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.

When something else is needed

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Materials that need asbestos testing before work
  • Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
  • Frames that are rotten, warped or broken

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • External wall and movement joints

Common problems we fix in West Hyde

Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

  • Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
  • Open joints in brickwork or panels
  • Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
  • Old repairs sealed over failed mastic

Landlords with units on estates such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate (1.9 miles north-east of West Hyde) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
