Construction mastic for Benhilton sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Benhilton, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Construction mastic in Benhilton, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and new external sealant already peeling away. Most enquiries from Benhilton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Questions about Benhilton
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
What does a mastic package usually include?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

Facades, frames and programmes in Benhilton
The area within 2 miles of Benhilton holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Site traffic in Benhilton falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Ashling Tara Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Benhilton, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When units on a site such as Kimpton Industrial Park (to the west of Benhilton) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. University estates such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom (4.3 miles south-west of Benhilton) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Benhilton takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
