Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Construction mastic in Headstone, done properly
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 we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Headstone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Headstone, 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in Headstone
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Surface by 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
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.

FAQs: Headstone
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can work at a site such as Westminster University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Send the snag list or photos and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
