Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
How we handle construction mastic in Shenley
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Shenley, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places like Shenley, 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, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Facades, frames and programmes in Shenley
At about 16 miles from central London, Shenley is within reach of the capital. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Shenley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as Kingsley Green Hospital, 1 mile north-west of Shenley, 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. Units on estates such as Colney Fields Shopping Park (1.5 miles north of Shenley) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Shenley Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We flag them as soon as we see them.

Common questions from Shenley clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Hertfordshire?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Shenley outside your area?
No. Places such as Shenley are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Quoting for work in Shenley
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- A fixed quote before work starts
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One number for every site we cover
