About our mastic sealing in West Peckham
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and open joints in brickwork or panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in West Peckham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near West Peckham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

FAQs: West Peckham
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Peckham, such as The Alders Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover West Peckham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Alders Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you take on a block within reach of Wateringbury station?

What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Do you work in West Peckham?
Yes. Sites across West Peckham are covered.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When to call us in West Peckham
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Buildings close to stations like Wateringbury station, 2.7 miles east of West Peckham, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
