Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Construction mastic in Woodlands, done properly
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list and clearing them late eats into the handover window. We seal so the snag list stays short. Site teams most often ask us about early adhesion failures on new external joints and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, across sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Woodlands, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Questions we’re asked in Woodlands
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Middlesex Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can work at a site such as University of London fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Signs you need construction mastic in Woodlands
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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Further education sites such as West Thames College, less than half a mile to the north of Woodlands, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Planning a London job such as one in Woodlands starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Cost factors for mastic packages
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
