Around places like Beansheaf Farm, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

New build and refits around Beansheaf Farm
Beansheaf Farm lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Beansheaf Farm 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Arlington Business Park, 0.9 miles to the west of Beansheaf Farm, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. When a college such as Integration College (0.5 miles north-west of Beansheaf Farm) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in Beansheaf Farm, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Common problems we fix in Beansheaf Farm
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
For a contractor at a hotel such as Calcot Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of Beansheaf Farm, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.

Questions we are asked in Beansheaf Farm
Is Beansheaf Farm too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Beansheaf Farm is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Prospect Park Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
