Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
After we have 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.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
How we handle construction mastic in Stanford in the Vale
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you’re dealing with bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stanford in the Vale tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around places like Stanford in the Vale, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Approving fire stopping as compliant

Questions about Stanford in the Vale
Is Stanford Business Park, near Stanford in the Vale, within your area?
Yes. We cover Stanford in the Vale and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stanford Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can work at a site such as University of Oxford fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you work in Stanford in the Vale?
Yes. Stanford in the Vale is in our area. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
