Construction mastic in Northfields

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Aftercare for building managers

After handover, these steps help:

  • Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
  • Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
  • Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
  • Plan external elevations with the weather in mind

Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.

Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

Construction mastic in Northfields, done properly

Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we’re fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. Most enquiries involve internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Northfields, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When something else is needed

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
  • Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
  • Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)

If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Floor and skirting junctions

Diagnose, treat, sign off

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Planning a London job such as one in Northfields starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

  1. We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
  4. Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
  5. Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Getting a fixed quote

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Sites and facades in and around Northfields

The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Northfields included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Northfields. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.

University estates such as University of West London (Brentford Campus) (0.7 miles south of Northfields) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. New units and refits on sites such as Phoenix Trading Estate (0.7 miles south-east of Northfields) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Northfields is about 1 mile south of Ealing, in Greater London. Anywhere in W5, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places. Our London page has more on work in that area (9 miles or so).

Postcode districts covered here: W5, W13 and TW8. Streets here include Burns Road, South Road and Elers Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Being close to the A3002, Northfields is straightforward for us to reach. We also cover Brentford (1 mile south-east), Gillette Corner (1 mile south-west), Brentford End (1 mile south), Osterley (2 miles south-west) and Spring Grove (2 miles south-west) for mastic packages. Further afield, our area takes in London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (7 miles east), Marylebone (7 miles east), Kensington (5 miles east), St Pancras (9 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).

Questions about Northfields

Can you work at a site such as Phoenix Trading Estate, by Northfields?

Yes. Our area takes in Northfields and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Phoenix Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Clayponds Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.

Do you work in Northfields?

Yes. We cover Northfields, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

What hours do you work?

Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?

Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.

Different surfaces, different methods

Snagging before handover

Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.

Fire-rated sealant where specified

Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.

Common problems we fix in Northfields

Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
  • Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
  • Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
  • Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range

Work at a hotel such as Best Western Northfields Ealing Hotel, less than half a mile south-west of Northfields, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Before you book anyone

  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Their public liability cover
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

How the quote is worked out

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Phasing around occupants
  • Any access equipment needed
  • The total length or number of joints
  • The product specified

Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The site address and postcode

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
