After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

FAQs: Shortheath
Is a hospital such as Farnham Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Shortheath outside your area?
Not at all. Shortheath is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product.
Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. For buildings around smaller places like Shortheath, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shortheath are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Construction mastic in Shortheath: the local picture
Shortheath lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Shortheath included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like St Peter's CofE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotels like Hotel de Vie, 1.1 miles to the north-east of Shortheath, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. On a campus such as University for the Creative Arts, 1.4 miles to the north of Shortheath, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
