Sites and facades in and around Paddington Green
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Paddington Green. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. The area within 2 miles of Paddington Green holds plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
When units on a site such as Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., 1.8 miles south of Paddington Green, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as St Mary's Hospital (under half a mile south of Paddington Green), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a college like City of Westminster College, 0.9 miles north-west of Paddington Green, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Paddington Green is about 1 mile north-west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Across the W2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 764 places in Greater London, large and small.

About our construction mastic in Paddington Green
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you’re dealing with existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Paddington Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Paddington Green, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Planning a London job such as one in Paddington Green 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.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Request a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Mary's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.

What else we do in Paddington Green
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
