Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions answered

Can you work on a hospital site such as Ashford Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Could you schedule work at a campus like St Mary's University for the vacation?

Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.

Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?

Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.

Do you take on mastic snagging only?

Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.

Can you work to our specification?

We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

What hours do you work?

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Littleton Common

The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. We work on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is a long mastic snag list close to completion and different trades sealing to different standards. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Littleton Common first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Sites around smaller places like Littleton Common can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Littleton Common

Littleton Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Littleton Common lies roughly 16 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.

New wings at hospitals like Ashford Hospital (2.1 miles north-west of Littleton Common) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. University estates such as St Mary's University, 4.9 miles to the east of Littleton Common, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Littleton Common is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Surrey. Across the TW15 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Littleton Common. London is covered too, around 16 miles from Littleton Common.

Commercial sites across TW15 and TW17 are covered. Among the streets we cover are Littleton Road, Cambridge Road and Cornerside. We also cover Ashford Common (1 mile north-east), Charlton (1 mile south), Hounslow (1 mile north-east), Ashford (1 mile north-west) and Upper Halliford (1 mile south-east) for mastic packages. Nearby towns on our patch include Guildford (13 miles south-west), Woking (9 miles south-west), Camberley (14 miles south-west), Epsom (10 miles south-east), Ewell (9 miles south-east) and Egham (4 miles west).

Local landmarks in Littleton Common

We work on buildings around The Bishop Wand Church of England School, Sunbury Manor School and Sunbury Park. The closest station to Littleton Common is Upper Halliford station, roughly 0.8 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Ashford Hospital (1.8 miles north-west) and Kempton Steam Museum (1.8 miles east).

Work for main contractors and building owners

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Aftercare for building managers

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
  • Keep product details for future maintenance
  • Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
  • Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant

The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.

Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.

How the job changes by surface

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.

Snagging before handover

Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.

When to call us in Littleton Common

A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.

Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:

  • Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
  • Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
  • Different trades sealing to different standards
  • Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out

Projects at colleges like Brooklands College - Ashford Campus (to the north-west of Littleton Common) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

What your quote should include

  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • How the existing material will be dealt with
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Why deal with it now?

Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Littleton Common. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What you get with us

  • Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • CSCS-carded applicators
  • Fully insured

See our cost guide or how we’re accredited.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Littleton Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

  1. We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
  2. Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
  3. The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
  4. Each area is sealed when it’s released.
  5. Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
