Why it’s worth doing now in Chicheley
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Chicheley may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- A fixed quote before work starts
- One number for every site we cover
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

How we handle construction mastic in Chicheley
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chicheley tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Chicheley, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Construction mastic in Chicheley: the local picture
Chicheley has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Rainfall across the South East, Chicheley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Sherington Church of England School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Building work at universities like Cranfield University, 3.4 miles to the south-east of Chicheley, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.

Advice
Questions we are asked in Chicheley
Would you work within a site like Milton Keynes University Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Chicheley, such as Cromwell Business Park?
Yes. We cover Chicheley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Cromwell Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens, all priced as one package.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you need construction mastic in Chicheley?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
Hospital estates such as Milton Keynes University Hospital, 5.8 miles south of Chicheley, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
