FAQs: Pollards Hill
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like King's College London for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What does a mastic package usually include?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens.
About our construction mastic in Pollards Hill
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Pollards Hill, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean. Most enquiries from Pollards Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why act early in Pollards Hill
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Failed sealant in a building in Pollards Hill can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- 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 right away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Construction mastic around Pollards Hill: how the place shapes the job
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Pollards Hill 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. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Pollards Hill. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Crystal Lodge Hotel (0.8 miles south of Pollards Hill), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Projects at colleges like Spurgeon's College (0.9 miles east of Pollards Hill) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Units on estates such as Thornton Road Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Pollards Hill, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

What else we do in Pollards Hill
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
