How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Construction mastic in Woodcote, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters alike. For commercial sealant work in Woodcote, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Woodcote, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Quoting for work in Woodcote
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Facades, frames and programmes in Woodcote
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Woodcote. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. Woodcote has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ullswater Industrial Estate (1.2 miles south of Woodcote), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For contractors at a school such as Woodcote High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Older buildings in the area around Woodcote, such as Nonsuch Mansion (4.3 miles north-west of Woodcote), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What joints do you seal on a new build?

Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
