FAQs: Aldwych
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.

It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Yes. We cover Aldwych and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure so it’s better to wait.
Construction mastic in Aldwych
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, across sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Aldwych is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Aldwych must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. If that happens, let us know.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Why act early in Aldwych
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic packages on Aldwych sites
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Aldwych. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Aldwych. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Units on estates such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south-east of Aldwych, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors on a campus like King's College London, less than half a mile to the east of Aldwych, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For a contractor at a hotel such as Hotel Strand Continental, under half a mile south of Aldwych, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
