Construction mastic across Cripp's Corner
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Construction mastic in Cripp's Corner, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Site teams most often ask us about sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Cripp's Corner is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Cripp's Corner, 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.
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.

When to call us in Cripp's Corner
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
Historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (to the south of Cripp's Corner) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Mastic packages on Cripp's Corner sites
Rainfall across the South East, Cripp's Corner included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Cripp's Corner lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
New wings at hospitals like Conquest Hospital (to the south of Cripp's Corner) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Why act early in Cripp's Corner
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Converted and older buildings near places like Cripp's Corner tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
