Construction mastic in Upper Ruxley
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 usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. For commercial sealant work in Upper Ruxley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What happens if it’s left?
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. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Failed sealant in a building in Upper Ruxley can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CHAS accredited contractor
Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Questions we are asked in Upper Ruxley
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Queen Mary's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When to call us in Upper Ruxley
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Queen Mary's Hospital (1.7 miles west of Upper Ruxley), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
