Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
About our construction mastic in Harold Wood
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list, and every return visit costs time. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. If you are dealing with a long mastic snag list close to completion and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Harold Wood first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Harold Wood, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Harold Wood
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Harold Wood
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
New wings at hospitals like Victoria Hospital (to the west of Harold Wood) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
