What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Approving fire stopping as compliant

About our construction mastic in Benham Hill
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 Benham Hill, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Benham Hill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a small site around Benham Hill, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
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.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you need construction mastic in Benham Hill?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
For a contractor at a hotel such as Newbury Manor Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Benham Hill, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book

Questions about Benham Hill
Is Horizon West Business Park, near Benham Hill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Benham Hill, Horizon West Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Benham Hill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. We will flag if the detail needs a different product.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance 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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
