Construction mastic for Broad Oak sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Rural sites near Broad Oak may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Broad Oak
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Broad Oak, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a long mastic snag list close to completion and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broad Oak from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites around smaller places like Broad Oak can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Facades, frames and programmes in Broad Oak
At about 40 miles from central London, Broad Oak is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Broad Oak is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Older buildings in the area around Broad Oak, such as Bateman's, which lies east of Broad Oak, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors at a school such as Broad Oak Community Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. 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 Broad Oak. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Broad Oak
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Look out for the following:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Units on estates such as Swife Business Park (0.8 miles east of Broad Oak) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions

FAQs: Broad Oak
Is Broad Oak too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Broad Oak are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Broad Oak?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
