How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
How we handle construction mastic in Strand-on-the-Green
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 we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and early adhesion failures on new external joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Strand-on-the-Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
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.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. 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.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Contractors’ notes for Strand-on-the-Green
A 2-mile radius around Strand-on-the-Green takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Strand-on-the-Green included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
When a college such as Ealing and West London College (2.2 miles north-west of Strand-on-the-Green) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. For contractors on a campus like Richmond American University London (0.6 miles north of Strand-on-the-Green), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For a contractor at a hotel such as Clayton Hotel Chiswick, 0.6 miles to the north of Strand-on-the-Green, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Cost factors for mastic packages
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
