Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
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. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Construction mastic in Crossness
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place and gives you a consistent finish across the job. We work on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we are called in for most is window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Crossness it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Every London site, Crossness 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly.

New build and refits around Crossness
Site traffic in Crossness falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
For contractors at a school such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Units on estates such as Kencot Close Business Park, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Crossness, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Common problems we fix in Crossness
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
On a campus such as University of East London (3 miles west of Crossness), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
