Construction mastic for Bush Fair sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How we handle construction mastic in Bush Fair
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. The enquiries we see most involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and a long mastic snag list close to completion, on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Bush Fair start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Bush Fair, 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, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Princess Alexandra Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Bush Fair outside your area?
No. Places such as Bush Fair are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. In a smaller place such as Bush Fair, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Do you need construction mastic in Bush Fair?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Projects at schools like Pear Tree Mead Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
New build and refits around Bush Fair
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Bush Fair. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Bush Fair is about 20 miles from central London. 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.
Projects at colleges like Harlow College (to the north-west of Bush Fair) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Hospital estates such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (1.5 miles north-west of Bush Fair) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
