Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
How we handle construction mastic in Burnham Green
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Most enquiries involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, across window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burnham Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Burnham Green, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
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.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh 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.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Construction mastic around Burnham Green: how the place shapes the job
Burnham Green has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Units on estates such as Little Ridge Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles to the south of Burnham Green, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Monk's Walk School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Further education sites such as Oaklands College - Welwyn Garden City Campus, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Burnham Green, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone and set the depth with backing where needed.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
