How we handle construction mastic in Kimpton
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. The enquiries we see most involve cracks opening in caulked internal joints and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Kimpton, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Kimpton, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

What we are called out for in Kimpton
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- New external sealant already peeling away
School extensions, at buildings such as Kimpton Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Kimpton are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why act early in Kimpton
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Older rural buildings around Kimpton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Sites and facades in and around Kimpton
Kimpton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Kimpton is about 26 miles from central London. 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.
With historic properties like Shaw's Corner (to the south-east of Kimpton) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Questions about Kimpton
Is Kimpton too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kimpton are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Kimpton?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
