Construction mastic in Pratling Street
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. We seal so the snag list stays short. We work on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and mastic snags holding up handover. Most enquiries from Pratling 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Pratling Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. 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.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Questions about Pratling Street
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Spire Alexandra Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured for public liability.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. For buildings around smaller places like Pratling Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
