Construction mastic across Little Tew

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchens and utility areas

Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.

Internal decorators’ caulk

Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.

Construction mastic in Little Tew, done properly

Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Little Tew, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and different trades sealing to different standards. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Tew first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

Sites around smaller places like Little Tew can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.

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.

When to bring in a specialist

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.

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.

Do you need construction mastic in Little Tew?

On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

  • Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
  • Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
  • Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
  • Mastic snags holding up handover

Projects at schools like Great Tew County Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

What your quote should include

  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • How the existing material will be dealt with
  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations

Our contractor checklist

Little Tew: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Little Tew outside your area?

No. Places such as Little Tew are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Does your area include sites such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, near Little Tew?

Yes. Our area takes in Little Tew and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

When can you be on site?

Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Can you come in just for snagging?

Yes. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?

Where it’s specified, yes. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Little Tew, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
  2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
  3. Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
  4. Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
  6. Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

Before we start on site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Request a quote

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Related advice

After the work

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:

  • Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
  • Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
  • Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
  • Record the products used in the O&M file

Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.

Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Facades, frames and programmes in Little Tew

Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
