Construction mastic around High Brooms: how the place shapes the job
High Brooms is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from High Brooms. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Work at a hotel such as The George Hotel (to the south-west of High Brooms) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors at a college like West Kent College, 2.6 miles to the north of High Brooms, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

How we handle construction mastic in High Brooms
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, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal areas can typically carry on while the outside waits. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and different trades sealing to different standards, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in High Brooms is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Building work in places the size of High Brooms is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When to call us in High Brooms
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- New external sealant already peeling away
On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons (1.5 miles west of High Brooms), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in High Brooms
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
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 and keeps handover on track.
On site: what to expect
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. Several jobs near High Brooms can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- 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.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
High Brooms: questions and answers
Is High Brooms too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Stag Trade Park, near High Brooms, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around High Brooms, Stag Trade Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure, so we wait rather than redo work.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
