Advice

Construction mastic in Laindon, done properly

On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve new external sealant already peeling away and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Laindon tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

On a small site around Laindon, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Laindon

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

New build and refits around Laindon

Laindon is about 23 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

New wings at hospitals like Basildon University Hospital, 1.8 miles south-east of Laindon, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Laindon North Trading Estate, 0.7 miles north of Laindon, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. When a school such as Merrylands Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Laindon is about 2 miles west of Basildon, in Essex. Laindon sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 644 places across Essex fall within our area, including Laindon. Our London page has more on work in that area (23 miles or so).

We cover the SS15 and SS16 postcode districts for mastic packages. For a building on High Road, Drake Road and Spire Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. We also cover Great Berry (1 mile south-west), Langdon Hills (1 mile south), Steeple View (1 mile north), Lee Chapel (1 mile east) and Noak Bridge (2 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover Chelmsford (12 miles north), Brentwood (6 miles north-west), Canvey Island (8 miles south-east), Billericay (4 miles north), Rayleigh (8 miles east) and Wickford (5 miles north-east).

When to bring in a specialist

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Why deal with it now?

A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Why us?

  • Over 20 years of commercial sealing
  • Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

See how commercial sealant jobs are priced and our accreditations.

When something else is needed

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:

  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
  • 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 the details over and we will say what we think.

Where we work in Laindon

Your questions answered

Can you work at a site such as Laindon North Trading Estate, by Laindon?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Laindon, Laindon North Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Is Laindon off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you use the sealant named in the specification?

We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.

Can the sealant be colour-matched?

It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.

Which sealant will you use?

The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

What the job involves on each surface

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.

Snagging before handover

The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
