What happens if it’s left?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

How we handle construction mastic in Little Portugal
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you’re dealing with caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Little Portugal, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Little Portugal, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Cost factors for mastic packages
What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

Questions we are asked in Little Portugal
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of the Arts London 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.
Is Handel Business Centre, near Little Portugal, within your area?
Yes. We cover Little Portugal and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Handel Business Centre. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Do you work in Little Portugal?
Yes. Sites across Little Portugal are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. In Little Portugal, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Signs you need construction mastic in Little Portugal
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. 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:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
Projects at colleges like Chelsea College of Art & Design, 1.1 miles to the north of Little Portugal, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
