About our construction mastic in Bandonhill
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and new external sealant already peeling away. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bandonhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Bandonhill must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Signs you need construction mastic in Bandonhill
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Waddon Hotel (0.8 miles east of Bandonhill), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. In Bandonhill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote

Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Bandonhill takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
