Central London is about 14 miles from Great Burgh. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Great Burgh has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When units on a site such as Eclipse Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Great Burgh, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom (1.8 miles north-west of Great Burgh) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

How we handle construction mastic in Great Burgh
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and mastic snags holding up handover. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Great Burgh, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Great Burgh, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Keep product details for future maintenance
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. We can return to clear snags before handover as agreed in the quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Great Burgh: questions and answers
Is Great Burgh too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Great Burgh need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Great Burgh
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Great Burgh. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Great Burgh can form part of a wider programme.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
