Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
About our construction mastic in Hungerford Green
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with new external sealant already peeling away and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Hungerford Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Hungerford Green 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Your questions answered
Can you keep pace with our programme in Hungerford Green?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Hungerford Green too far out for you?
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.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Building and refurbishing in Hungerford Green
Central London is about 47 miles from Hungerford Green. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Hungerford Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like The Downs School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Hungerford Green can be grouped with others nearby. You will 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.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Common problems we fix in Hungerford Green
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
With historic properties like Basildon Park, 3.4 miles to the east of Hungerford Green, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
What to look for in a quote
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually carry out the work
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
