For managing agents and facilities managers

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Construction mastic in Woodside, done properly

On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and mastic snags holding up handover. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Woodside? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Woodside bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:

  • Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
  • Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
  • Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct

Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Floor and skirting junctions

On site: what to expect

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Woodside may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
  2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
  3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
  4. We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
  5. Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
  6. Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

What we need from you

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice

Quoting for work in Woodside

Before we quote, we look at:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • How much there is to seal

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we need to price the job

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Any specification or named product
  • Your programme or deadline
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Contractors’ notes for Woodside

Woodside lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Woodside included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ascot Business Park (1.9 miles south of Woodside), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Building work at universities like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (to the south-east of Woodside) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. With historic properties like St Leonard's Hill (to the north of Woodside) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Woodside is about 3 miles south-west of Windsor, in Bracknell Forest. Our applicators travel to Woodside for work on mastic packages. We work across 48 places in Bracknell Forest. Reading is covered too, around 13 miles from Woodside.

Anyone looking for construction mastic in SL4 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. For a building on Woodside Road, Fydlers Close and Kiln Lane or nearby, send details and we will quote for mastic packages. Just outside Woodside, we also work in Plaistow Green (1 mile north-west), Brookside (1 mile south-west), Cheapside (1 mile south-east), Cranbourne (1 mile north) and The Village (1 mile north-east). Further afield, our area takes in Bracknell (4 miles west), Sandhurst (8 miles south-west), Wick Hill (3 miles west), Priestwood (4 miles west), Lawrence Hill (3 miles west) and Binfield (5 miles west).

What the job involves on each surface

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.

Fire-rated sealant where specified

Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.

Woodside: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Woodside outside your area?

Not at all. Woodside is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Would you work within a site like Heatherwood Hospital?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Can you fit around our working hours?

We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Can you work to our specification?

We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.

How many days will you need on site?

That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

General trades versus a specialist

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
