Construction mastic across Buckingham

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Different surfaces, different methods

Internal decorators’ caulk

Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.

About our construction mastic in Buckingham

Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Buckingham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Developers and contractors working in Buckingham want mastic that keeps pace with the build: sealing as scaffold comes down or as each floor is decorated, and snagging before handover. Send drawings and the programme and we will price to suit.

We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

New build and refits around Buckingham

Buckingham is about 51 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Buckingham has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.

On a campus such as University of Buckingham, which lies south-east of Buckingham, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as White Hart Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Buckingham), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Buckingham is about 10 miles west of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire. Anywhere in MK18, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Oxford have their own page, roughly 20 miles from Buckingham.

Anyone looking for construction mastic in MK18 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are Market Square, Market Hill and High Street, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Buckingham sits on or close to the A421 and A422. Just outside Buckingham, we also work in Padbury (2 miles south-east), Thornborough (3 miles east), Adstock (3 miles south-east), Steeple Claydon (4 miles south) and Middle Claydon (5 miles south). Nearby towns on our patch include Aylesbury (14 miles south-east), Elmhurst (14 miles south-east), Southcourt (15 miles south-east), Haydon Hill (13 miles south-east), Turnfurlong (15 miles south-east) and Quarrendon Estate (14 miles south-east). As one of the bigger centres in Buckinghamshire, Buckingham has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings, and we cover them all.

How the quote is worked out

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:

  • Phasing around occupants
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Sending details for a quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:

  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Your programme or deadline
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Buckingham

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
  • Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
  • Rework caused by others damaging completed areas

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Internal decorators’ caulk

Diagnose, treat, sign off

A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Buckingham are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s normally simpler.

  1. We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
  4. Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
  5. Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
  6. Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

Ask for a quote

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

FAQs: Buckingham

Can you work at a site such as Tingewick Road Industrial Estate, by Buckingham?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Buckingham, Tingewick Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Would you work within a site like Buckingham Community Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Will you stick to the specified products?

The specified product is what goes in. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.

Is colour matching possible?

That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

What joints do you seal on a new build?

It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.

When to call us in Buckingham

Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.

Look out for the following:

  • Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
  • Mastic snags holding up handover
  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
  • Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Buckingham Community Hospital, less than half a mile north of Buckingham, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

What to look for in a quote

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee
