Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. If that happens, let us know.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
Construction mastic in Sidcup
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. We work on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Searching for sealant specialists in Sidcup? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
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.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
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.
What you get with us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Planning a London job such as one in Sidcup 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 will schedule to suit.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Common problems we fix in Sidcup
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Look out for the following:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
University estates such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 1.4 miles to the north-west of Sidcup, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

FAQs: Sidcup
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sidcup, such as Green Lane Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Sidcup and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Green Lane Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
The specification decides the product, and we will raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
