Construction mastic near Bradwell

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Bradwell can form part of a wider programme.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

How we handle construction mastic in Bradwell

Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Bradwell, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve cracks opening in caulked internal joints and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bradwell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Building work in places the size of Bradwell is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we’re called out for in Bradwell

On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.

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

  • Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
  • Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
  • Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
  • Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range

On a campus such as University of Bedfordshire Milton Keynes Campus, which lies south-east of Bradwell, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • The named product and why it was chosen

How to choose a sealant contractor

Diagnose, treat, sign off

A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Bradwell, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.

  1. First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
  2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
  3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
  4. Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
  6. The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work

When to bring in a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Different surfaces, different methods

Window and door perimeters

Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification and set the depth with backing where needed.

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.

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
  • Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
  • Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer

If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Questions we’re asked in Bradwell

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Bedfordshire Milton Keynes Campus?

Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

Is Bradwell too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Does the weather affect the work?

It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?

Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

How long before the joints can be used?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
