How we handle construction mastic in Thames View Estate
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Thames View Estate, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you have inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Thames View Estate, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in a London area such as Thames View Estate means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Thames View Estate: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Barking Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Barking Business Centre, by Thames View Estate?
Yes, sites like Barking Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Thames View Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Commercial clients in Thames View Estate
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
