Construction mastic near Fickleshole
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Mastic packages on Fickleshole sites
Fickleshole lies roughly 13 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Fickleshole is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Units on estates such as Vulcan Way Industrial Estate (1.2 miles north of Fickleshole) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Fairchildes Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Warlingham Park Hospital, 1.2 miles south-west of Fickleshole, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Fickleshole is about 5 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Across the CR6 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Fickleshole is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. London is covered too, around 13 miles from Fickleshole.
We cover the CR6 postcode districts. Buildings on Featherbed Lane and Fairchildes Lane are within our area. We also cover Farleigh (1 mile west), New Addington (1 mile north), Chelsham (1 mile south-west), Leaves Green (2 miles north-east) and Forestdale (2 miles north-west) for mastic packages. Further afield, our area takes in Epsom (11 miles west), Horley (12 miles south-west), Redhill (9 miles south-west), Ewell (11 miles west), Reigate (10 miles south-west) and Caterham (5 miles south-west).

Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common questions from Fickleshole clients
Is Fickleshole too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Vulcan Way Industrial Estate, close to Fickleshole?
Yes. We cover Fickleshole and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Vulcan Way Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover and damaged joints are redone properly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fickleshole, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
