What we’re called out for in St George's Hill
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is typically the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Hand and Spear Hotel, 0.6 miles to the west of St George's Hill, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Construction mastic in St George's Hill
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in St George's Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around places like St George's Hill, 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about St George's Hill
Is St George's Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Wintersells Business Park, near St George's Hill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in St George's Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wintersells Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We will flag if the detail needs a different product.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Quoting for work in St George's Hill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, normally a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone and set the depth with backing where needed.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
