Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How we handle construction mastic in Easton
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Easton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Easton can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Do you need construction mastic in Easton?
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Mastic snags holding up handover
University estates such as University of Winchester, 3 miles to the south-west of Easton, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

FAQs: Easton
Is Easton off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Leigh House Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

Why act early in Easton
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. For buildings around smaller places like Easton, 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.
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.

Mastic packages on Easton sites
Easton has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Easton 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, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at colleges like Peter Symonds College, 2.5 miles south-west of Easton, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. When a school such as Peter Symonds College is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
