Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
About our construction mastic in Hurstpierpoint
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are different trades sealing to different standards and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hurstpierpoint, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions around smaller places like Hurstpierpoint often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Hurstpierpoint clients
Is Hurstpierpoint too far out for you?
Not at all. Hurstpierpoint is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The Dene Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to our specification?
We follow the specified sealant and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Send the snag list or photographs and we will price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. If that happens, let us know.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Several jobs near Hurstpierpoint can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
New build and refits around Hurstpierpoint
Hurstpierpoint is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 39 miles from central London, Hurstpierpoint is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When a school such as St Lawrence CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Dene Hospital (2.1 miles north of Hurstpierpoint), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
