How we handle construction mastic in Hurtmore
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. Most enquiries from Hurtmore start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Hurtmore is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Note which sealant went where at handover
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

Advice
What we are called out for in Hurtmore
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
University estates such as University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus, 2.6 miles to the north of Hurtmore, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Building and refurbishing in Hurtmore
Hurtmore 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. At about 31 miles from central London, Hurtmore is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Hotels like The Kings Arms and Royal Hotel (1.4 miles south-east of Hurtmore) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Milford Hospital (2.3 miles south of Hurtmore), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Hurtmore is about 4 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Hurtmore sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, Hurtmore among them.

Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How the job changes by surface
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, depending on what suits the programme.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Questions about Hurtmore
Would you work within a site like Milford Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Hurtmore off your patch?
Not at all. Hurtmore is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
