Construction mastic for Burlington Estate sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Burlington Estate

To price the job, we consider:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Any access equipment needed

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Details that help us quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • The site address and postcode
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • When you need the work done

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Construction mastic in Burlington Estate, done properly

Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, whatever the size of the scheme. Most enquiries involve frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burlington Estate, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Every London site, Burlington Estate included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.

We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Our process

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Burlington Estate can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
  2. We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
  3. Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
  4. We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
  5. Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

What happens if it’s left?

Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Failed sealant in a building in Burlington Estate can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.

Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Sites and facades in and around Burlington Estate

A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Burlington Estate. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Burlington Estate included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.

When units on a site such as Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., 1.6 miles south-west of Burlington Estate, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hospital estates such as The London Welbeck Hospital, 0.6 miles north-west of Burlington Estate, 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. Further education sites such as Westminster Kingsway College Soho Centre (to the north-east of Burlington Estate) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Burlington Estate is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Any commercial site in Burlington Estate is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, Burlington Estate among them.

Aftercare for building managers

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
  • Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
  • Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
  • Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent

Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.

A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

Burlington Estate: questions and answers

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?

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.

We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.

Is any job too small?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Do you take on mastic snagging only?

Yes. Send the snag list or photographs and we’ll price it, then clear it to your programme.

Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?

The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Different surfaces, different methods

Internal decorators’ caulk

Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.

External facade and movement joints

Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
