Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Charlton
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. Most enquiries from Charlton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Charlton is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Sites and facades in and around Charlton
Charlton is about 31 miles 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. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Charlton. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hotels like Lister House Hotel, 0.6 miles north-east of Charlton, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors at a college like North Hertfordshire College - Hitchin Campus, which lies north-east of Charlton, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. School extensions, at buildings such as Highbury Infant School and Nursery, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Charlton is about 1 mile south-west of Hitchin, in Hertfordshire. Looking for construction mastic in Charlton? We can help, as we do across Hertfordshire. Charlton is one of 371 places in Hertfordshire on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page (31 miles or so).

Leave it or put it right?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. For buildings around smaller places like Charlton, 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.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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.
