About our construction mastic in Chelsea Harbour
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you’re dealing with different trades sealing to different standards and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Chelsea Harbour 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.
Construction in a London area such as Chelsea Harbour means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

FAQs: Chelsea Harbour
Could you schedule work at a campus like Royal College of Art for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

What else we do in Chelsea Harbour
How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
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.
Sites and facades in and around Chelsea Harbour
A 2-mile radius around Chelsea Harbour takes in a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Chelsea Harbour 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.
Further education sites such as St Mellitus Theological College, 1.3 miles to the north of Chelsea Harbour, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. University estates such as Royal College of Art, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Chelsea Harbour, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Town Mead Business Centre (0.5 miles south of Chelsea Harbour), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Chelsea Harbour is about 2 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Across the SW6 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 764 places in Greater London.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. In Chelsea Harbour, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
