When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Construction mastic in Northwood
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we’re fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Northwood, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a small site around Northwood, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Use the product the specification names
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
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.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Facades, frames and programmes in Northwood
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Northwood. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A 2-mile radius around Northwood takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotels like The Sylvan Hotel, 1.2 miles south-east of Northwood, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors at a school such as Dame Janet Primary Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Units on estates such as Broadstairs Retail Park (under half a mile north of Northwood) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Common questions from Northwood clients
Is a smaller place like Northwood outside your area?
No. Places such as Northwood 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Northwood, such as Broadstairs Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Broadstairs Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Northwood. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure so it’s better to wait.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, 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.

Advice
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
