Building work at universities like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 1.8 miles to the south-west of East Wickham, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. School extensions, at buildings such as East Wickham Primary Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

How we handle construction mastic in East Wickham
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in East Wickham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around East Wickham, 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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Do you need construction mastic in East Wickham?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Gateway Business Centre, 1.7 miles north of East Wickham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Quoting for work in East Wickham
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Questions we’re asked in East Wickham
Will you take on work at estates like Gateway Business Centre, close to East Wickham?
Yes. We cover East Wickham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gateway Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
