Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Construction mastic in Barabhas, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically 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. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you are dealing with sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Barabhas is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
External sealing around Barabhas depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
