Building owners, agents and FMs in Puddle Dock
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Puddle Dock
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you’re dealing with oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Puddle Dock it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Every London site, Puddle Dock included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Mastic packages on Puddle Dock sites
As part of Greater London, Puddle Dock is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
When a college such as New City College, 2.7 miles west of Puddle Dock, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. When a school such as The James Oglethorpe Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Hartswood Hospital, 2.8 miles north of Puddle Dock, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Quoting for work in Puddle Dock
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Puddle Dock, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Questions we’re asked in Puddle Dock
Can work at a site such as New City College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
What joints do you seal on a new build?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
