Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
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 and work only when conditions suit.
Construction mastic in Souldern, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and different trades sealing to different standards. Whoever orders the work in Souldern, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Souldern, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Facades, frames and programmes in Souldern
Souldern is about 59 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Souldern included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New units and refits on sites such as Baynards Green Trading Estate, 2.1 miles south-east of Souldern, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Brackley Community Hospital, 5.5 miles to the north-east of Souldern, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Cartwright Arms Hotel, 1.2 miles north of Souldern, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Souldern may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Leave it or put it right?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Souldern, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. We can return to clear snags before handover as agreed in the quote.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
What affects the price in Souldern
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions we are asked in Souldern
Can you work at a site such as Baynards Green Trading Estate, by Souldern?
Yes. Our area takes in Souldern and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Baynards Green Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Souldern too far out for you?
Not at all. Souldern 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.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
