Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Burstow can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Construction mastic in Burstow, done properly
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, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. For commercial sealant work in Burstow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Burstow bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Signs you need construction mastic in Burstow
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is typically the first to crack. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Projects at schools like Oakwood School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions about Burstow
Would you work within a site like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private)?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Burstow, such as Maple Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burstow, Maple Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What does a mastic package normally include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.

Burstow lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as Maple Business Park (to the north of Burstow) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
