Leave it or put it right?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Construction mastic in St Clement's
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St Clement's tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Building work in places the size of St Clement's is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is St Clement's off your patch?
No. Places such as St Clement's are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Facades, frames and programmes in St Clement's
Central London is about 52 miles from St Clement's. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, St Clement's 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Building work at universities like University College (0.5 miles west of St Clement's) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotels like Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel (under half a mile west of St Clement's) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Projects at colleges like Oxford Sixth Form College (to the west of St Clement's) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Use the product the specification names
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Keep product details for future maintenance
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
