How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Construction mastic in Elsted, done properly
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. We work on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we’re called in for most is external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Elsted is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites around smaller places like Elsted can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Facades, frames and programmes in Elsted
Rainfall across the South East, Elsted included, is lower than in many 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. Central London is about 49 miles from Elsted. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
With historic properties like Uppark (2.7 miles south-west of Elsted) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For a contractor at a hotel such as Southdowns Hotel, 1.5 miles north of Elsted, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 4.7 miles to the east of Elsted, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Elsted is about 5 miles south-east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Elsted for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 15 miles from Elsted.

Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Elsted are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Why it’s worth doing now in Elsted
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Elsted, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Is Elsted off your patch?

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.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
The specification decides the product and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
