About our construction mastic in Astwood
Since 2005 we’ve 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. To price a package in Astwood, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you are dealing with snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Astwood it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Astwood is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Questions we are asked in Astwood
Is a smaller place like Astwood outside your area?
No. Places such as Astwood are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Bedford Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Astwood can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
New build and refits around Astwood
Central London is about 48 miles from Astwood. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Bedford Hospital, 5.9 miles to the east of Astwood, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors on a campus like Cranfield University, 3.2 miles south of Astwood, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Older buildings in the area around Astwood, such as Turvey Abbey, which lies north of Astwood, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Astwood, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
