- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

About our construction mastic in Hill Green
We work to the specification and the programme. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades. Most enquiries from Hill Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Hill Green bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
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.

Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?

Advice
Construction mastic around Hill Green: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 35 miles from central London, Hill Green is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Historic houses such as Audley End House (4.2 miles north-east of Hill Green) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital, which lies north-east of Hill Green, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Hill Green is about 5 miles south-west of Saffron Walden, in Essex. Any commercial site in Hill Green is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, Hill Green among them. Our London page has more on work in that area.

- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Common problems we fix in Hill Green
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
New units and refits on sites such as Funstons Commercial Centre, under half a mile to the south-west of Hill Green, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
