Cost factors for mastic packages
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Wicken Bonhunt, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Wicken Bonhunt, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wicken Bonhunt, Funstons Commercial Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

New build and refits around Wicken Bonhunt
Wicken Bonhunt is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 35 miles from central London, Wicken Bonhunt is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a school such as Joyce Frankland Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital (4.9 miles north-east of Wicken Bonhunt) 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. When units on a site such as Funstons Commercial Centre (0.8 miles west of Wicken Bonhunt) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
