Why it’s worth doing now in Claygate
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Around Claygate, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

How we handle construction mastic in Claygate
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we’re fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Claygate, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Claygate, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Common questions from Claygate clients
Is Claygate too far out for you?
No. Places such as Claygate are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the mastic package for our job in Claygate follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. 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 work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure, so we wait rather than redo work.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.

Contractors’ notes for Claygate
Central London is about 33 miles from Claygate. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When units on a site such as Forstal Business Park (2.9 miles north-west of Claygate) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On any site in or around Claygate, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
