Construction mastic for businesses in Bearsted

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

When something else is needed

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
  • Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
  • Approving fire stopping as compliant

Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

How we handle construction mastic in Bearsted

Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Bearsted, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you are dealing with sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bearsted tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

In a smaller place such as Bearsted, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.

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’re upfront about that.

What sets the cost

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Sending details for a quote

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Your programme or deadline
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Any specification or named product

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Owners, agents and contractors

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Bearsted can form part of a wider programme.

Why act early in Bearsted

Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What you get with us

  • Colour agreed before work starts
  • Over 20 years of commercial sealing
  • Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
  • Clear, fixed quotes

Our process

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a job in Bearsted, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.

  1. We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
  2. We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
  3. We agree with the site team which areas come first.
  4. Each area is sealed when it’s released.
  5. Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
  6. After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Getting a fixed quote

Mastic packages on Bearsted sites

Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Bearsted. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Rainfall across the South East, Bearsted included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

Projects at colleges like Kent Police College, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Bearsted, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Viewpoint Industrial Estate, 2 miles north-west of Bearsted, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Do you need construction mastic in Bearsted?

Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Mastic snags holding up handover
  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
  • Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
  • Cracks opening in caulked internal joints

University estates such as University for the Creative Arts (3.2 miles west of Bearsted) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Questions we’re asked in Bearsted

Is a smaller place like Bearsted outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts for the vacation?

Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Does weather affect external mastic work?

External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure so it’s better to wait.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

What will the job cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.

How do I request a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
