How we handle construction mastic in Friar's Wash
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. The enquiries we see most involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Friar's Wash it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites around smaller places like Friar's Wash 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 photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Friar's Wash can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open

Leave it or put it right?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We will 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 Friar's Wash, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Friar's Wash: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Friar's Wash off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product.

Construction mastic in Friar's Wash: the local picture
Friar's Wash sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. At about 27 miles from central London, Friar's Wash is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Extensions at sites like Spire Hospital, 2.8 miles to the east of Friar's Wash, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a school such as Flamstead Village School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. University estates such as University Of Bedfordshire (3.7 miles north of Friar's Wash) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Friar's Wash is about 3 miles west of Harpenden, in Hertfordshire. Commercial clients in Friar's Wash can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Hertfordshire.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
