Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
About our construction mastic in Brandfold
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are different trades sealing to different standards and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Brandfold first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Brandfold can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Contractors’ notes for Brandfold
Brandfold sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Brandfold lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Older buildings in the area around Brandfold, such as Scotney Castle (3.5 miles south-west of Brandfold), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Brandfold is about 8 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Commercial clients in Brandfold can call on us for mastic packages. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Brighton is covered too, around 33 miles from Brandfold.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep product details for future maintenance
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Common problems we fix in Brandfold
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. 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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Star And Eagle Hotel, which lies south of Brandfold, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Brandfold may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
