How we handle construction mastic in Newington Butts
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions, and what we’re called in for most is bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and early adhesion failures on new external joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Newington Butts it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Newington Butts, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Newington Butts where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Evelina London Children's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Newington Butts
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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 before we move to the next. Planning a London job such as one in Newington Butts starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Why deal with it now?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

When to call us in Newington Butts
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
Hospital estates such as Evelina London Children's Hospital, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Newington Butts, 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.
