Construction mastic for Chilworth sites

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Chilworth

Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we are fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. Site teams most often ask us about frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chilworth? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Around smaller places like Chilworth, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Mastic packages on Chilworth sites

The area within 2 miles of Chilworth holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Chilworth lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

Extensions at sites like Mount Alvernia Hospital, 1.9 miles north-west of Chilworth, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Barnett Hill House Hotel (to the south of Chilworth) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Chilworth is about 3 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Any commercial site in Chilworth is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Chilworth. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 25 miles away.

Commercial sites across GU4 are covered. Buildings on Old Manor Gardens, Redwood Grove and Blacksmith Lane are within our area for mastic packages. With the A248 nearby, Chilworth is straightforward for us to reach. Just outside Chilworth, we also work in Blackheath (1 mile south-east), East Shalford (1 mile west), Shalford (1 mile west), Broadford (2 miles west) and Abbotswood (2 miles north-west). Further afield, our area takes in Guildford (3 miles north-west), Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (12 miles north-west), Epsom (14 miles north-east), Farnham (11 miles west) and Ewell (15 miles north-east).

Aftercare for building managers

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Note which sealant went where at handover
  • Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
  • Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
  • Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them

Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.

Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.

When something else is needed

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Frames fitted out of tolerance
  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
  • Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work in Chilworth

  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Internal decorators’ caulk

When to bring in a specialist

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What affects the price in Chilworth

Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:

  • Working within restricted access windows
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Any access equipment needed

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What to include in your enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

  • The product your specification calls for
  • Your programme or deadline
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

From enquiry to sign-off

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Chilworth need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
  2. Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
  3. The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
  4. Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
  5. Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Request a quote

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

Your questions answered

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus?

Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Chilworth, such as Broadford Business Park?

Yes, sites like Broadford Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chilworth. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

When can you be on site?

The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

What we are called out for in Chilworth

On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
  • Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
  • Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
  • Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed

Further education sites such as Guildford College (to the north-west of Chilworth) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
