Work for main contractors and building owners

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, 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.

Construction mastic in Furner's Green, done properly

Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you have frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Furner's Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Sites around smaller places like Furner's Green can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common problems we fix in Furner's Green

Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:

  • Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
  • Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
  • A long mastic snag list close to completion

On a campus such as University of Sussex, which lies south-west of Furner's Green, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

Before you book anyone

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Common questions from Furner's Green clients

Is Furner's Green too far out for you?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you work at a site such as Horsted Keynes Business Park, by Furner's Green?

Yes, sites like Horsted Keynes Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Furner's Green. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Do you use the sealant named in the specification?

The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.

How do you choose the sealant?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

How do we ask for a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.

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.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Maintenance after handover

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Protect sealed areas from following trades
  • Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
  • Put any product change through the designer first
  • Note which sealant went where at handover

Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.

Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.

New build and refits around Furner's Green

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Furner's Green is about 34 miles from central London. 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.

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Princess Royal Hospital, which lies west of Furner's Green, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Sheffield Arms Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south of Furner's Green, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Furner's Green is about 5 miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex. Across the TN22 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Furner's Green is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex. Brighton is covered too, some 14 miles away.

If your building is just outside Furner's Green, we cover Danehill (1 mile north), Chelwood Common (2 miles north), Horsted Keynes (2 miles north-west), Chelwood Gate (2 miles north) and Nutley (2 miles north-east).

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades

Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
