Questions about Egerton Forstal
Can the mastic package for our job in Egerton Forstal follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Egerton Forstal?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
Construction mastic in Egerton Forstal, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. 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. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and mastic snags holding up handover, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Egerton Forstal start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Egerton Forstal, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Older rural buildings around Egerton Forstal move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Construction mastic in Egerton Forstal: the local picture
Egerton Forstal is about 41 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For contractors building in or near Egerton Forstal, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. School extensions, at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Egerton Forstal, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
