Construction mastic for Eastwood sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
About our construction mastic in Eastwood
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Eastwood? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around places like Eastwood, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Southend-on-Sea. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Eastwood outside your area?
Not at all. Eastwood is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can being near the sea in Eastwood affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
How a job runs
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 anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Eastwood need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached

New build and refits around Eastwood
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Eastwood. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Eastwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Skylark Hotel, which lies east of Eastwood, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a college like South Essex College Stephenson Road Campus, 0.8 miles west of Eastwood, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hospital estates such as Southend University Hospital (to the south-east of Eastwood) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
