Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle construction mastic in Hydestile
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Hydestile, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Hydestile, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hydestile
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Halls, stores and units around places like Hydestile may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hydestile can form part of a wider programme.
Quoting for work in Hydestile
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Hydestile: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Godalming College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Hydestile outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Mastic packages on Hydestile sites
Hydestile is about 33 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Hydestile included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New units and refits on sites such as Godalming Business Centre, 2.1 miles north of Hydestile, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Historic houses such as Loseley Park (to the north of Hydestile) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Extensions at sites like Milford Hospital (to the north-west of Hydestile) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Hydestile is about 7 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We send applicators to Hydestile for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Hydestile is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey. Sites around Reading have their own page, roughly 26 miles from Hydestile.
