How we handle construction mastic in Bexley Riverside
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. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bexley Riverside from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Every London site, Bexley Riverside included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Failed sealant in a building in Bexley Riverside can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What we are called out for in Bexley Riverside
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Different trades sealing to different standards
New wings at hospitals like Erith and District Hospital, 0.5 miles north of Bexley Riverside, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Questions we are asked in Bexley Riverside
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you cover business parks and estates near Bexley Riverside, such as Madford Trade Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Bexley Riverside and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Madford Trade Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Bexley Riverside can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
Contractors’ notes for Bexley Riverside
Bexley Riverside has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. As part of Greater London, Bexley Riverside is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel (1.3 miles south-west of Bexley Riverside), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New units and refits on sites such as Madford Trade Park, 0.8 miles north of Bexley Riverside, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Bexley Riverside, 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.
