What affects the price in Theydon Bois

- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job

- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Theydon Bois
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about early adhesion failures on new external joints and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, across floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Theydon Bois, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
On a small site around Theydon Bois, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why deal with it now?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- CHAS accredited contractor
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

New build and refits around Theydon Bois
At about 15 miles from central London, Theydon Bois is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Theydon Bois sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Saint Margaret's Hospital (2.5 miles north-east of Theydon Bois) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a college such as New City College (1.9 miles south-west of Theydon Bois) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. When units on a site such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre (to the east of Theydon Bois) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
