Construction mastic in Erith, done properly
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Most enquiries from Erith start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Every London site, Erith 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. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Erith: questions and answers
Is Madford Trade Park, near Erith, within your area?
Yes. We cover Erith and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Madford Trade Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Erith and District Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems so it’s better to wait.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. In Erith, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Signs you need construction mastic in Erith
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
On a healthcare site such as Erith and District Hospital, which lies south-west of Erith, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen

What else we do in Erith
Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Construction mastic around Erith: what changes locally
Site traffic in Erith falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Projects at colleges like London South East Colleges: Bexley (less than half a mile north-east of Erith) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Madford Trade Park (less than half a mile north-west of Erith), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Around Erith

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints

- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions

What happens if it’s left?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. In Erith, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Constructionline member
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
