How we handle construction mastic in Stowting Common
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, across internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stowting Common first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Stowting Common, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Stowting Common
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital, 5.1 miles to the west of Stowting Common, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around

What happens if it’s left?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. For buildings around smaller places like Stowting Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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 fixed quote once you have the details.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Stowting Common: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Stowting Common too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Stowting Common is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
