Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Todd's Green
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we’re fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Todd's Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Todd's Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Todd's Green: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lister Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Todd's Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are usually sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.

What else we do in Todd's Green
Common problems we fix in Todd's Green
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Hotels like Redcoats Farmhouse Hotel, 0.8 miles west of Todd's Green, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Proof of insurance
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters

Sites and facades in and around Todd's Green
Rainfall across the South East, Todd's Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 30 miles from central London, Todd's Green is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New units and refits on sites such as Horizon Technology Park (to the south of Todd's Green) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hospital estates such as Lister Hospital (to the east of Todd's Green) 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.

Why act early in Todd's Green
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Todd's Green, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
