Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Brimsdown
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and different trades sealing to different standards, across cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from Brimsdown start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Brimsdown, 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a job in Brimsdown, 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’ll schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
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 and a consistent finish. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions we’re asked in Brimsdown
Is a hospital such as St Michael's Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Capital City College?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it so sealing follows the trades.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
