Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For a building around Pig Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How we handle construction mastic in Pig Street
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. Most enquiries from Pig Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Pig Street, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Converted and older buildings near places like Pig Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints

- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
Signs you need construction mastic in Pig Street
On construction sites, joints typically fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Different trades sealing to different standards
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Rice Bridge Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the north-east of Pig Street, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
FAQs: Pig Street
Our building in Pig Street is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Pig Street, such as Rice Bridge Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Pig Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Rice Bridge Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them, sealing as areas become ready.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
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 and reduces snags.
Sites and facades in and around Pig Street
With the shore within about 3 miles, Pig Street counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Pig Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Older buildings in the area around Pig Street, such as Thorpe Hall, which lies north-east of Pig Street, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Lifehouse Spa & Hotel, which lies north-east of Pig Street, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

What affects the price in Pig Street
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
