About our construction mastic in Aythorpe Roding
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Site teams most often ask us about bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, across floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Aythorpe Roding is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Aythorpe Roding, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Questions we’re asked in Aythorpe Roding
Is a smaller place like Aythorpe Roding outside your area?
Not at all. Aythorpe Roding is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the mastic package for our job in Aythorpe Roding follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
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.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Can you fit around our programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready.

Mastic packages on Aythorpe Roding sites
At about 27 miles from central London, Aythorpe Roding is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When units on a site such as Parklands Business Centre, 1.2 miles south of Aythorpe Roding, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Older buildings in the area around Aythorpe Roding, such as Barrington Hall (2.7 miles north-west of Aythorpe Roding), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as Rodings Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Put any product change through the designer first
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. 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.

Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly.
