About our construction mastic in Risinghurst
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we are fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Risinghurst? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around places like Risinghurst, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Risinghurst clients
Is Risinghurst off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Shotover Trading Estate, near Risinghurst?
Yes. We cover Risinghurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Shotover Trading Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and 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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
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 keeps the snag list down.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Facades, frames and programmes in Risinghurst
Risinghurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 50 miles from Risinghurst. 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.

Extensions at sites like The Manor Hospital (to the west of Risinghurst) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
