What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
How we handle construction mastic in South Norwood
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you have early adhesion failures on new external joints and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover South Norwood? We have 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. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in South Norwood
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in South Norwood can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- 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.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Building and refurbishing in South Norwood
A 2-mile radius around South Norwood takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in South Norwood. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Crystal Lodge Hotel (1.2 miles west of South Norwood), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Projects at colleges like Spurgeon's College (to the north-west of South Norwood) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. University estates such as King's College London, 4.8 miles to the north of South Norwood, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
South Norwood is about 5 miles south-east of Stockwell, in Greater London. We cover commercial sites throughout South Norwood, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. South Norwood is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list for mastic packages. There’s a separate page for London, about 7 miles away.

Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. In South Norwood, 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.

South Norwood: questions and answers
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’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you take on work at estates like Chaffinch Business Park, close to South Norwood?
Yes. Our area takes in South Norwood and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chaffinch Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What does a mastic package typically include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We are fully insured for public liability.
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 while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
