General trades versus 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
About our construction mastic in Goring
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. Site teams most often ask us about existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Goring first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In a smaller place such as Goring, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters

Cost factors for mastic packages
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
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, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Use the product the specification names
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Record the products used in the O&M file
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
Goring: questions and answers
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Goring?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Goring too far out for you?
Not at all. Goring is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Construction mastic around Goring: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Goring has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Work at a hotel such as The Swan Hotel (to the west of Goring) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. School extensions, at buildings such as Goring Church of England Aided Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Historic houses such as Basildon Park (to the south of Goring) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and we clear our waste as we work. What matters most for a job in Goring is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.

What we need from you
