Construction mastic in Bexley, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and early adhesion failures on new external joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Bexley? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Bexley 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
What affects the price in Bexley
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Bexley starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

New build and refits around Bexley
Site traffic in Bexley falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Bexley. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel (1.1 miles north-east of Bexley), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Hospital estates such as Queen Mary's Hospital (to the south-west of Bexley) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Bexley is about 3 miles east of Eltham, in Greater London. Anywhere in DA5, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Bexley
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
On a campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus (2.5 miles west of Bexley), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

FAQs: Bexley
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long do sealant joints 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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product, and we will raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bexley
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What we can’t put right

- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
