Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we handle construction mastic in East Shefford
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list, and every return visit costs time. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. If you have existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and different trades sealing to different standards, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Shefford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near East Shefford, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why act early in East Shefford
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Around East Shefford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is East Shefford off your patch?
No. Places such as East Shefford are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the mastic package for our job in East Shefford follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure, so we wait rather than redo work.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Construction mastic around East Shefford: points for this area
East Shefford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. East Shefford lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
When a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors building in or near East Shefford, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
