About our construction mastic in Chandler's Cross
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection. For commercial sealant work in Chandler's Cross, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Chandler's Cross, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
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.

Questions about Chandler's Cross
Is Chandler's Cross off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as West Herts College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Use the product the specification names
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. If that happens, let us know.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Advice

What else we do in Chandler's Cross
What happens if it’s left?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Halls, stores and units around places like Chandler's Cross may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
