Construction mastic in Dawesgreen
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dawesgreen first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Dawesgreen is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Chesterfield Business Park, by Dawesgreen?
Yes. We cover Dawesgreen and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chesterfield Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What we’re called out for in Dawesgreen
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
On a healthcare site such as East Surrey Hospital, 4 miles to the east of Dawesgreen, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Dawesgreen may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. For buildings around smaller places like Dawesgreen, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Construction mastic around Dawesgreen: what changes locally
Dawesgreen lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Dawesgreen sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
School extensions, at buildings such as Burys Court School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When units on a site such as Chesterfield Business Park (to the north-east of Dawesgreen) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Dawesgreen is about 3 miles south-west of Reigate, in Surrey. Across the RH2 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Dawesgreen is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. London is covered too, around 21 miles from Dawesgreen.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
