Construction mastic in Green Tye, done properly
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new external sealant already peeling away and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone. Whoever orders the work in Green Tye, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites around smaller places like Green Tye can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

From enquiry to sign-off
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 the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Green Tye may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- 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.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Keep product details for future maintenance
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Green Tye clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Herts and Essex Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Green Tye too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Green Tye is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photos and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Common problems we fix in Green Tye
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Units on estates such as Thorley Fields Business Park, 2.5 miles east of Green Tye, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

What affects the price in Green Tye
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Sites and facades in and around Green Tye
Green Tye is about 25 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Green Tye is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Herts and Essex Hospital (to the north-east of Green Tye) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Older buildings in the area around Green Tye, such as Much Hadham Palace, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Green Tye, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
