About our mastic sealing in Radclive
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and no planned programme for sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Radclive? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For buildings around smaller places like Radclive, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Quoting for work in Radclive
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
FAQs: Radclive
Is a smaller place like Radclive outside your area?
No. Places such as Radclive are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Tingewick Road Industrial Estate, near Radclive?

How do I request a quote?

What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
