Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Construction mastic in Well End, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a long mastic snag list close to completion and different trades sealing to different standards. Whoever orders the work in Well End, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Well End 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common questions from Well End clients
Will you take on work at estates like Borehamwood Industrial Park, close to Well End?
Yes. Our area takes in Well End and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Borehamwood Industrial Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Well End off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it.

External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Well End
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
When a school such as Hertswood Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

What else we do in Well End
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
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 when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. You can also send details through our quote form.
