On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Dane Hill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- 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
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

About our construction mastic in Dane Hill
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Dane Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Dane Hill, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Dane Hill. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Signs you need construction mastic in Dane Hill
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
For a contractor at a hotel such as Unicorn Hotel, 1.5 miles to the north of Dane Hill, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?

How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

What else we do in Dane Hill
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Building and refurbishing in Dane Hill
Dane Hill has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hatch End Old Industrial Estate (to the south of Dane Hill) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
