Construction mastic in Manor House, done properly
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility and gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you are dealing with perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Manor House it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Manor House, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Manor House as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Manor House
Can you work at a site such as Arena Shopping Park, by Manor House?
Yes. We cover Manor House and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Arena Shopping Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. 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 we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
New build and refits around Manor House
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Manor House. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. A 2-mile radius around Manor House takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
New units and refits on sites such as Arena Shopping Park (to the north of Manor House) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors on a campus like American University in London, 1.1 miles south-west of Manor House, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When a college such as City & Islington College, 0.6 miles south-west of Manor House, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. If that happens, let us know.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How a job runs
In a busy building, 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 the next one starts. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Manor House
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere, plot by plot or floor by floor.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
