About our construction mastic in Five Oaks
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you have different trades sealing to different standards and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints alike. Most enquiries from Five Oaks 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Five Oaks bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Five Oaks: questions and answers
Is Five Oaks off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Billingshurst Trade Park, near Five Oaks?
Yes. We cover Five Oaks and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Billingshurst Trade Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
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. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Why act early in Five Oaks
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Halls, stores and units around places like Five Oaks may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Construction mastic in Five Oaks: the local picture
Five Oaks 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 the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 35 miles from central London, Five Oaks is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
New wings at hospitals like Horsham Hospital (to the east of Five Oaks) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Units on estates such as Billingshurst Trade Park, 1.2 miles south-west of Five Oaks, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like The Weald School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Five Oaks is about 5 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Five Oaks for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area.
