How we handle mastic sealing in Woodside
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and water getting in round frames after rain, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Woodside, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Woodside, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Woodside
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Small buildings around Woodside suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions we are asked in Woodside
Will you take on work at estates like Hill Farm Avenue Industrial Estate, close to Woodside?
Yes. We cover Woodside and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hill Farm Avenue Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you take on a block within reach of Garston station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Block-wide mastic in Woodside
Woodside is about 19 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Woodside sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For owners of several units at places like Hill Farm Avenue Industrial Estate, which lies west of Woodside, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. For agents with blocks near Garston station, 1 mile to the south-east of Woodside, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Site managers at schools like Alban Wood Primary School and Nursery can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Woodside need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
