Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
How we handle construction mastic in Bradfield Heath
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover.

In the countryside around places like Bradfield Heath, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Mastic packages on Bradfield Heath sites
With the shore within about 2 miles, Bradfield Heath counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead.

Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

Common problems we fix in Bradfield Heath
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.

- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
School extensions, at buildings such as Bradfield Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
