How we handle construction mastic in Shalford
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you’re dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shalford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Shalford is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Shalford: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Shalford, such as Broadford Business Park?
Yes, sites like Broadford Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Shalford. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Mount Alvernia Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 usually taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For a building around Shalford, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and keeps the snag list down.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Why deal with it now?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Converted and older buildings near places like Shalford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Construction mastic around Shalford: points for this area
Rainfall across the South East, Shalford included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 28 miles from central London, Shalford is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Building work at universities like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Shalford, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Broadford Business Park, under half a mile south-west of Shalford, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Shalford Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
