Construction mastic across Flemings
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
Construction mastic in Flemings, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Site teams most often ask us about sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, across floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Flemings from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Flemings bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Around Flemings, 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.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

New build and refits around Flemings
At about 61 miles from central London, Flemings is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Flemings sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, 2.7 miles south-west of Flemings, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Work at a hotel such as The Lion Hotel, 1 mile north of Flemings, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Flemings are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Common questions from Flemings clients
Does your area include sites such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, near Flemings?
Yes. Our area takes in Flemings and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Flemings outside your area?
Not at all. Flemings is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
