How we handle construction mastic in Bough Beech
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bough Beech? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Bough Beech is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bough Beech
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bough Beech. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common problems we fix in Bough Beech
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Work at a hotel such as Hever Hotel (0.6 miles south-west of Bough Beech) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions from Bough Beech clients
Is a hospital such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Bough Beech?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
