Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Record the products used in the O&M file
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.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
About our construction mastic in Becontree Heath
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can put it right, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Becontree Heath from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Becontree Heath, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Common questions from Becontree Heath clients
Is Business Centre, near Becontree Heath, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Becontree Heath and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queens Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fit around our programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
From enquiry to sign-off
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 anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Common problems we fix in Becontree Heath
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
For contractors at a school such as All Saints Catholic School and Technology College, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Becontree Heath takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
