Construction mastic in Malting Green

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

From enquiry to sign-off

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. For a building around Malting Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
  4. We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
  5. Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice

Construction mastic in Malting Green, done properly

Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items and clearing them late eats into the handover window. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Malting Green? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Around smaller places like Malting Green, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Do you need construction mastic in Malting Green?

Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:

  • Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
  • Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
  • Different trades sealing to different standards

Building work at universities like University of Essex (3.7 miles north-east of Malting Green) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

What to look for in a quote

How to choose a sealant contractor

Contractors’ notes for Malting Green

Malting Green 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 the external programme keeps a little slack. Malting Green lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

Units on estates such as Gosbeck's Business Park (to the north of Malting Green) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Alderman Blaxill School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Malting Green is about 3 miles south of Colchester, in Essex. Any commercial site in Malting Green is covered. Our Essex coverage takes in 644 places. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Looking after the joints

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
  • Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
  • Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
  • Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads

Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.

Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

What sealant work can’t fix

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
  • Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
  • Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)

If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints

Why deal with it now?

When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Halls, stores and units around places like Malting Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Why appoint us

  • CHAS accredited
  • Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • Commercial sealant work since 2005

FAQs: Malting Green

Is Malting Green too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Essex County Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Can you come in just for snagging?

Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly to suit the programme.

Will you stick to the specified products?

The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.

Which sealant will you use?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Can staff carry on working while you’re here?

In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
