Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Construction mastic in Old Oak Common, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Old Oak Common, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Old Oak Common first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
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.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Hammersmith Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Where it’s specified, yes. We will flag if the detail needs a different product.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
