Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Construction mastic in Ifold, done properly
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. We seal so the snag list stays short. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ifold first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Ifold bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Do you need construction mastic in Ifold?
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage.
Look out for the following:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
When a school such as Loxwood Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Ifold outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Ifold?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly to suit the programme.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Ifold, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
