Construction mastic in Codicote, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally 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. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Codicote, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Codicote, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Questions about Codicote
Is Codicote too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Queen Elizabeth II Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. What matters most for a job in Codicote is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Codicote. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What affects the price in Codicote
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
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.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What happens if it’s left?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Mastic packages on Codicote sites
Central London is about 25 miles from Codicote. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Codicote sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Historic houses such as Shaw's Corner, 1.7 miles south-west of Codicote, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Extensions at sites like Queen Elizabeth II Hospital (to the south-east of Codicote) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. School extensions, at buildings such as Codicote Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Codicote is about 4 miles north-west of Welwyn Garden City, in Hertfordshire.
