What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Construction mastic in Latchingdon
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. The enquiries we see most involve internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Latchingdon tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Latchingdon, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

New build and refits around Latchingdon
Latchingdon lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Latchingdon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Units on estates such as Red Lions Business Centre (to the south-east of Latchingdon) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. On any site in or around Latchingdon, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
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 and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. For buildings around smaller places like Latchingdon, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Latchingdon, such as Red Lions Business Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Latchingdon, Red Lions Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can being near the sea in Latchingdon affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photos and we will price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We’re also fully insured for public liability.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
