Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Fobbing can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Construction mastic in Fobbing
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. Site teams most often ask us about new external sealant already peeling away and a long mastic snag list close to completion, on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Fobbing, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Fobbing is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Fobbing can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Converted and older buildings near places like Fobbing tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions about Fobbing
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Performers College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Fobbing outside your area?
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.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will you just go over the old 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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
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 to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
New build and refits around Fobbing
Fobbing sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Fobbing is about 24 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Projects at schools like Ortu Corringham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New units and refits on sites such as London Gateway Logistics Park (to the south of Fobbing) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a college such as Performers College, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Fobbing, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
Fobbing is about 2 miles north-east of Stanford-le-Hope, in Thurrock. Anywhere in SS17, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Thurrock coverage takes in 27 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 24 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout SS17. Among the streets we cover are High Road, Patricia Drive and Greenacres Mews, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Fobbing, we also work in Corringham (1 mile south), Vange (2 miles north-east), Stanford-le-Hope (2 miles south-west), Balstonia (2 miles south-west) and Lee Chapel (2 miles north-west). Further afield, our area takes in Grays (7 miles south-west), South Ockendon (8 miles west), Chadwell St Mary (6 miles south-west), Aveley (10 miles west), Tilbury (7 miles south-west) and South Stifford (8 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Fobbing
We work on buildings around Gable Hall School, Vange Hill and White Lion Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Basildon station, roughly 2.1 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Basildon University Hospital (1.5 miles north-west) and Eastgate Shopping Centre (2.2 miles north). Not far away are Fobbing Marsh.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Use the product the specification names
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
