Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Construction mastic in Brookside
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, across brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Brookside, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Brookside, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Use the product the specification names
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Questions about Brookside
Can you work at a site such as Ascot Business Park, by Brookside?
Yes. Our area takes in Brookside and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ascot Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Brookside outside your area?
No. Places such as Brookside are covered as much as the big towns. 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 you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. For buildings around smaller places like Brookside, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Brookside, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Contractors’ notes for Brookside
Brookside is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Brookside. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
New wings at hospitals like Heatherwood Hospital, 1.2 miles south of Brookside, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Hotels like The Royal Foresters Hotel (to the south-west of Brookside) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. University estates such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (to the south-east of Brookside) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
