Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Construction mastic in Anthill Common
The specification and the programme set the job. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Most enquiries involve cracks opening in caulked internal joints and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Anthill Common tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Anthill Common bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Halls, stores and units around places like Anthill Common may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean so keep them off the joints.
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, and a delay to handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Mastic packages on Anthill Common sites
At about 59 miles from central London, Anthill Common is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Anthill Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hospital estates such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (to the south of Anthill Common) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Units on estates such as Parklands Business Park (to the south-east of Anthill Common) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The George Hotel, 1.5 miles north of Anthill Common, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Anthill Common: questions and answers
Is Parklands Business Park, near Anthill Common, within your area?
Yes, sites like Parklands Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Anthill Common. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Anthill Common off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
