Questions about Coombe
Could you schedule work at a campus like University Campus Aylesbury Vale for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The Paddocks Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Construction mastic in Coombe
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone. Most enquiries from Coombe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Coombe can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Coombe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
Sites and facades in and around Coombe
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Coombe. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Coombe 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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Station Approach Business Park, 1.5 miles north-east of Coombe, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hospital estates such as The Paddocks Hospital (2.5 miles south-west of Coombe) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Coombe is about 5 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Across the HP17 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, large and small. There’s a separate page for Oxford, about 19 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout HP17. We also cover Butler's Cross (1 mile north), Ellesborough (1 mile north-west), Chalkshire (1 mile north), Terrick (1 mile north) and Nash Lee (1 mile north). Bigger towns within reach include Aylesbury (5 miles north), High Wycombe (8 miles south), Chesham (8 miles east), Marlow (12 miles south), Amersham (9 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (11 miles south-east).
What’s near Coombe
We work on buildings around John Colet School and The Russell Arms and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Little Kimble station, roughly 1.3 miles west. Well-known places in the area include Little Kimble Motte (1 mile west) and Trenchard Museum (3.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve and Coombe Hill.
What we’re called out for in Coombe
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
When a school such as Great Kimble Church of England School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
