About our construction mastic in Dartmouth Park
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you have snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and early adhesion failures on new external joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dartmouth Park tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Dartmouth Park must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Dartmouth Park can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

What we are called out for in Dartmouth Park
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. 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:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- New external sealant already peeling away
Work at a hotel such as Haverstock Hotel, 1.1 miles south-west of Dartmouth Park, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How joint depth will be controlled
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Construction mastic around Dartmouth Park: how the place shapes the job
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Dartmouth Park included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. Dartmouth Park has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hospital estates such as The Whittington Hospital (to the north of Dartmouth Park) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors on a campus like American University in London, which lies east of Dartmouth Park, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dartmouth Park, such as Bush Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Bush Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dartmouth Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
