Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

How we handle construction mastic in East Lavant
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone 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 oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in East Lavant is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near East Lavant, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.

Signs you need construction mastic in East Lavant
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
When units on a site such as Summersdale Retail Park, 0.7 miles to the south-west of East Lavant, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What to look for in a quote
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- The named product and why it was chosen
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We flag them as soon as we see them.
