Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Three Mills, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

How we handle construction mastic in Three Mills
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. Internal areas can typically carry on while the outside waits. If you are dealing with sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and new external sealant already peeling away, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Three Mills is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Do you need construction mastic in Three Mills?
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
Units on estates such as Crescent Court Business Centre (to the south-east of Three Mills) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
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.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Questions we’re asked in Three Mills
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Will you take on work at estates like Crescent Court Business Centre, close to Three Mills?
Yes, sites like Crescent Court Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Three Mills. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
What affects the price in Three Mills
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Record the products used in the O&M file
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
