Construction mastic in Barnes Cray
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal areas can typically carry on while the outside waits. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Barnes Cray from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Barnes Cray, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barnes Cray
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Cost factors for mastic packages
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
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 usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and we clear our waste as we work. 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 walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
