Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Construction mastic in Croydon
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Site teams most often ask us about external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, across sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Croydon first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Croydon, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Contractors’ notes for Croydon
A 2-mile radius around Croydon takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Site traffic in Croydon 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 a contractor at a hotel such as Kirkdale Hotel, less than half a mile to the south of Croydon, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. School extensions, at buildings such as Heathfield Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Croydon is about 9 miles south of London, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Croydon can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Greater London. We work across 764 places in Greater London, large and small. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 9 miles from Croydon.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in CR0, CR2, CR9 and CR8 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Streets here include High Street, Church Road and Ruskin Square. Main routes into Croydon include the A235 and B243, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Just outside Croydon, we also work in South Croydon (1 mile south), Coombe (1 mile east), Addiscombe (2 miles north-east), Ashburton (2 miles north-east) and Woodside (2 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover London (9 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (11 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (11 miles north) and Shoreditch (11 miles north).
Around Croydon
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Cambridge Tutors College, Rutherford School and Keg & Grill pub. Croydon has its own railway station: South Croydon station. A little further out are Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (1.2 miles south-west) and Croydon University Hospital (1.7 miles north). Not far away are Roundshaw Downs and Duppas Hill.
Common questions from Croydon clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like Croydon College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Croydon University Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Is Croydon in your area?
Yes. We cover Croydon, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
When to call us in Croydon
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- New external sealant already peeling away
Extensions at sites like Croydon University Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north of Croydon, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Our process
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 any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Most London premises stay occupied while we are 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.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
