What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
How we handle construction mastic in Dagenham Dock
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. The enquiries we see most involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and different trades sealing to different standards, across sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Dagenham Dock, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is usually one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Dagenham Dock
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
When a school such as St Peter's Catholic Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
