Construction mastic in Artington, done properly
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Artington, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Artington, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Artington, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Facades, frames and programmes in Artington
The area within 2 miles of Artington holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Artington lies roughly 29 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Farnham Road Hospital, 1.1 miles north of Artington, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Asperion Hotel (1.1 miles north of Artington), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

When to call us in Artington
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Mastic snags holding up handover
Building work at universities like University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus (1.7 miles north-west of Artington) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Commercial clients in Artington
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Artington: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Farnham Road Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
