High Garrett: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Braintree College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Braintree Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you cover High Garrett?
Yes. Sites across High Garrett are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like High Garrett, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Building and refurbishing in High Garrett
At about 40 miles from central London, High Garrett is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. High Garrett 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Springwood Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of High Garrett, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. On a healthcare site such as Braintree Community Hospital, 2.6 miles to the south-west of High Garrett, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
High Garrett is about 2 miles north of Braintree, in Essex. Commercial clients in High Garrett use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Essex. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, High Garrett among them. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 40 miles from High Garrett.

We also cover Bocking Churchstreet (1 mile south-west), Gosfield (2 miles north), Beazley End (2 miles north-west), Church End (3 miles west) and Shalford (4 miles north-west). A short drive away, we cover Colchester (14 miles east), Chelmsford (13 miles south), Maldon (13 miles south), Witham (8 miles south), Camulodunum (13 miles east) and Halstead (3 miles north-east).

Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
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.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Common problems we fix in High Garrett
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
Further education sites such as Braintree College, 1.6 miles south-west of High Garrett, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
