Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Westminster University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Clementine Churchill Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, then clear it to your programme.
Is Sudbury in your area?
Yes. Sites across Sudbury are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How we handle construction mastic in Sudbury
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. The enquiries we see most involve frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Sudbury, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Sudbury must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Advice
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common problems we fix in Sudbury
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Look out for the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
For contractors at a college like Katherine & King's College of London, 0.8 miles north-west of Sudbury, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
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.
Contractors’ notes for Sudbury
A 2-mile radius around Sudbury takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Sudbury included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
When units on a site such as Greenford Green Business Park, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Sudbury, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hospital estates such as The Clementine Churchill Hospital (0.9 miles north-west of Sudbury) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
