Common problems we fix in Broomfield
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
For a contractor at a hotel such as Channels Hotel, 1.1 miles east of Broomfield, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How we handle construction mastic in Broomfield
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. For commercial sealant work in Broomfield, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around places like Broomfield, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Broomfield need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Use the product the specification names
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover as agreed in the quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Construction mastic around Broomfield: how the place shapes the job
Central London is about 31 miles from Broomfield. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Broomfield sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Units on estates such as Regiment Business Park (0.8 miles east of Broomfield) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Building work at universities like Anglia Ruskin University, 2.1 miles south of Broomfield, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Broomfield is about 2 miles north of Chelmsford, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Broomfield, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, including Broomfield. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 31 miles from Broomfield.

What’s near Broomfield

The nearest railway station is Beaulieu Park station, roughly 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
