Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
How we handle construction mastic in St Luke's
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. If you have a long mastic snag list close to completion and different trades sealing to different standards, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover St Luke's? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in St Luke's must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions we are asked in St Luke's
Can you work at a site such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre, by St Luke's?
Yes. Our area takes in St Luke's and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work at a site such as The University of Law fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens, all priced as one package.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need construction mastic in St Luke's
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Further education sites such as London College of Fashion, 0.6 miles east of St Luke's, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What else we do in St Luke's
Mastic packages on St Luke's sites
As part of Greater London, St Luke's is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from St Luke's. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road campus), less than half a mile to the north-east of St Luke's, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Thistle City Barbican Hotel, which lies north-west of St Luke's, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
