When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters

- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
Construction mastic in Shalden Green, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Shalden Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Shalden Green bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What else we do in Shalden Green
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Do you need construction mastic in Shalden Green?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Hospital estates such as Alton Community Hospital, 3.3 miles to the south of Shalden Green, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Alton Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Shalden Green, such as Kerridge Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Kerridge Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Shalden Green. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do you cover Shalden Green?
Yes. Sites across Shalden Green are covered.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Shalden Green can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.

Advice
Contractors’ notes for Shalden Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 45 miles from Shalden Green. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
New units and refits on sites such as Kerridge Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Shalden Green) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. With historic properties like Hall Place, 3.1 miles to the south-west of Shalden Green, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
