Quoting for work in Throcking
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Construction mastic in Throcking, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Throcking, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and new external sealant already peeling away, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Throcking, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Throcking, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Halls, stores and units around places like Throcking may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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 when you are ready.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Use the product the specification names
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. We can return to clear snags before handover as agreed in the quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
What else we do in Throcking
Facades, frames and programmes in Throcking
Throcking sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 31 miles from Throcking. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Honeywood Industrial Centre, 0.5 miles west of Throcking, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

What we are called out for in Throcking
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Look out for the following:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
School extensions, at buildings such as Freman College, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
