What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Rural sites near East Chiltington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Older rural buildings around East Chiltington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.

Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
