Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone.
Construction mastic in Spelsbury, done properly
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Spelsbury it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Spelsbury, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
New build and refits around Spelsbury
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 66 miles from central London, Spelsbury is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a school such as Chadlington Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. When units on a site such as Southill Business Park (to the south of Spelsbury) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Southill Business Park, by Spelsbury?
Yes, sites like Southill Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Spelsbury. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Spelsbury off your patch?
Not at all. Spelsbury 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.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product, and we’ll raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Spelsbury, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Spelsbury
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Halls, stores and units around places like Spelsbury may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
