Common problems we fix in Little Venice
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
When a college such as City of Westminster College (0.6 miles north-west of Little Venice) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Construction mastic in Little Venice
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we are fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and a long mastic snag list close to completion, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Little Venice tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Little Venice must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

New build and refits around Little Venice
The area within 2 miles of Little Venice holds a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. As part of Greater London, Little Venice is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
University estates such as Imperial College London, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Little Venice, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hospital estates such as St Mary's Hospital, less than half a mile south-east of Little Venice, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Little Venice
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
FAQs: Little Venice
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Mary's Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. In Little Venice, 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.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
