Mastic packages on Great Burstead sites
Rainfall across the South East, Great Burstead included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Great Burstead lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
On a healthcare site such as Mayflower Community Hospital (2.1 miles north-west of Great Burstead), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. With historic properties like Ingatestone Hall, 4.6 miles north-west of Great Burstead, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as St Peter's Catholic Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

How we handle construction mastic in Great Burstead
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. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and new external sealant already peeling away, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Great Burstead, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Great Burstead can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Great Burstead are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Great Burstead. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
