Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can typically carry on while the outside waits. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions. Whoever orders the work in Merton, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we’re called out for in Merton
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Further education sites such as Wimbledon College of Arts, 0.9 miles to the west of Merton, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What affects the price in Merton
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Building and refurbishing in Merton
The area within 2 miles of Merton holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Merton included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Hospital estates such as St George's Hospital (1.1 miles north-east of Merton) 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. University estates such as Kingston University Roehampton Vale Campus, 3.1 miles north-west of Merton, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Common questions from Merton clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Kingston University Roehampton Vale Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as St George's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fit around our programme?
The programme sets the job. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it so sealing follows the trades.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Ask for a quote
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What else we do in Merton
Why act early in Merton
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. In Merton, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
