Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Construction mastic in Maypole
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. For commercial sealant work in Maypole, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Maypole must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
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.

What else we do in Maypole
Common problems we fix in Maypole
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 use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Nugent Retail Park (2.9 miles north-west of Maypole) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Mastic packages on Maypole sites
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Maypole. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
School extensions, at buildings such as Chelsfield Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Maypole, such as Lullingstone Castle, 2.4 miles east of Maypole, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Maypole is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Maypole use us for work on mastic packages. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, large and small. London is covered too, some 14 miles away.

Near you in Maypole

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Use the product the specification names
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and we clear our waste as we work. 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.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
