What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Approving fire stopping as compliant

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Dunsbury
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Dunsbury, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Dunsbury, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Building and refurbishing in Dunsbury
Dunsbury sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Dunsbury 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.
Sites around Dunsbury get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

What affects the price in Dunsbury
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

Advice
Dunsbury: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Dunsbury outside your area?
Not at all. Dunsbury is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can being near the sea in Dunsbury affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Do you need construction mastic in Dunsbury?
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Historic houses such as Mottistone Manor, 1.2 miles east of Dunsbury, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
