Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

About our construction mastic in Ilford
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you are dealing with early adhesion failures on new external joints and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can help, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions alike. For commercial sealant work in Ilford, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in a London area such as Ilford means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Signs you need construction mastic in Ilford
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Look out for the following:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
Units on estates such as Newbury Retail Park (to the north of Ilford) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Why it’s worth doing now in Ilford
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- A fixed quote before work starts

Common questions from Ilford clients
Can you work at a site such as Newbury Retail Park, by Ilford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ilford, Newbury Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Barking Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Is Ilford in your area?
Yes. Ilford falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Projects at colleges like New City College (to the east of Ilford) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Hotels like Redbridge Hotel, less than half a mile to the west of Ilford, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
