What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Common questions from Cliffe clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich - Medway?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Cliffe too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Converted and older buildings near places like Cliffe tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Advice
More services for Cliffe
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Signs you need construction mastic in Cliffe
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Projects at schools like St Helen's Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

Mastic packages on Cliffe sites
With the shore within about 2 miles, Cliffe counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Cliffe is about 26 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
