Will you take on work at estates like Chaucer Industrial Estate, close to Filching?
Yes. We cover Filching and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chaucer Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Filching outside your area?
No. Places such as Filching are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you insured?

Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
Can you handle several sites?

What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
About our construction mastic in Filching
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we’re fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. Whoever orders the work in Filching, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Filching, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Filching
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
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.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Contractors’ notes for Filching
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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. The area within 2 miles of Filching holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
On a healthcare site such as Eastbourne District General Hospital, which lies south-east of Filching, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a college such as East Sussex College Eastbourne (to the south-east of Filching) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. Work at a hotel such as Chalk Farm Hotel, 1.2 miles to the east of Filching, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Filching is about 3 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We send applicators to Filching for mastic packages. Filching is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 16 miles from Filching.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Filching, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
