About our construction mastic in Clanfield
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 we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are different trades sealing to different standards and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Clanfield tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Clanfield, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Clanfield
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we are called out for in Clanfield
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Hotels like Plough Hotel (less than half a mile north of Clanfield) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
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. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Mastic packages on Clanfield sites
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Clanfield. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a school such as Clanfield CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Bampton Business Centre (South) (1.6 miles east of Clanfield) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Longworth Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Clanfield off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you work with the site programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What does a mastic package typically include?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
