About our construction mastic in Newyears Green
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Newyears Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Every London site, Newyears Green included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Use the product the specification names
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Common questions from Newyears Green clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Harefield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Harefield Hospital, 2.1 miles to the north-west of Newyears Green, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Projects at schools like Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Common problems we fix in Newyears Green
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Look out for the following:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
When units on a site such as Uxbridge Business Park (to the south-west of Newyears Green) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. 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.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
