Construction mastic across Sandhills

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Sites and facades in and around Sandhills

Sandhills is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 35 miles from Sandhills. 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.

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Milford Hospital (2.8 miles north-east of Sandhills), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a school such as King Edward's School Witley is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as The White Hart Hotel, which lies north-east of Sandhills, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How we handle construction mastic in Sandhills

Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and what we are called in for most is sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Most enquiries from Sandhills start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Sandhills 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 normally what’s needed.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Quoting for work in Sandhills

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • Access and working height
  • The product specified
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Removal of failed or old sealant

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • The site address and postcode
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.

What the job involves on each surface

External facade and movement joints

External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.

Kitchens and utility areas

Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.

Sandhills: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Sandhills outside your area?

Not at all. Sandhills is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Milford Hospital, something you do?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Do you take on small jobs?

Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

When can the area be used after sealing?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
  • Frames fitted out of tolerance
  • Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Window and door perimeters

After the work

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

  • Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
  • Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
  • Keep product details for future maintenance
  • Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers

If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.

Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

From enquiry to sign-off

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Sandhills, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
  2. We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
  3. We agree with the site team which areas come first.
  4. Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
  5. Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
