About our construction mastic in Croxley Green
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and different trades sealing to different standards, on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Croxley Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Croxley Green, building work normally 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference 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. Older rural buildings around Croxley Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Why appoint us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Your questions answered
Is Croxley Green 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. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Would you work within a site like Watford General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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 mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Diagnose, treat, sign off

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Contractors’ notes for Croxley Green
Croxley Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Croxley Green. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Older buildings in the area around Croxley Green, such as Chenies Manor House (4.2 miles north-west of Croxley Green), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Watford General Hospital (1.8 miles east of Croxley Green), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Projects at colleges like West Herts College (to the north-east of Croxley Green) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
