How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Cranford
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. The enquiries we see most involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Whoever orders the work in Cranford, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Every London site, Cranford included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What affects the price in Cranford
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cranford: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Heathrow International Trading Estate, close to Cranford?
Yes. We cover Cranford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Heathrow International Trading Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Hounslow Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
The specification decides the product and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Cranford can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Leave it or put it right?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
