Construction mastic in West Hanney, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. If you have frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Hanney first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like West Hanney, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from West Hanney clients
Is West Hanney off your patch?
No. Places such as West Hanney are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Grovelands Shopping Centre, by West Hanney?
Yes. We cover West Hanney and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Grovelands Shopping Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Jobs in and around smaller places like West Hanney are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Mastic packages on West Hanney sites
Central London is about 57 miles from West Hanney. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Projects at schools like St James Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. On a healthcare site such as Abingdon Community Hospital, 5.4 miles to the north-east of West Hanney, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room.
When to call us in West Hanney
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is normally the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Historic houses such as Longworth House, 4.2 miles to the north of West Hanney, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Quoting for work in West Hanney
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

What else we do in West Hanney
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
