About our construction mastic in Sands End
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal sealing often fills those days. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and different trades sealing to different standards, on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sands End first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Cost factors for mastic packages
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are usually sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
