Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Construction mastic in Bedwell, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Bedwell, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Building work in places the size of Bedwell is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Bedwell
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Questions about Bedwell
Is Monkswood Retail Park, near Bedwell, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Bedwell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Monkswood Retail Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lister Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work to our specification?
We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you 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.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
