About our construction mastic in Haywards Heath
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have a long mastic snag list close to completion and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Haywards Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Many towns of Haywards Heath’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, so new windows and cladding meet old masonry. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Sussex?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Princess Royal Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, then clear it to your programme.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.

What else we do in Haywards Heath
Building owners, agents and FMs in Haywards Heath
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Common problems we fix in Haywards Heath
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
Work at a hotel such as The Birch Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Haywards Heath, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

New build and refits around Haywards Heath
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Haywards Heath. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Haywards Heath is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a campus such as University of Sussex (3.8 miles south-east of Haywards Heath), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Extensions at sites like Princess Royal Hospital (0.6 miles south-east of Haywards Heath) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If you have more than one building in Haywards Heath, they can often be done on the same visit. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Use the product the specification names
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
