Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Wallington
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing. Most enquiries from Wallington start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Wallington, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Questions we are asked in Wallington
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Wallington?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fairfield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Related advice
Do you need construction mastic in Wallington?
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Look out for the following:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Fairfield Hospital, 5.6 miles west of Wallington, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
