Common questions from Out Elmstead clients
Is Out Elmstead too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
We follow the specified sealant and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Construction mastic in Out Elmstead
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. We work on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Out Elmstead is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Out Elmstead, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Sites and facades in and around Out Elmstead
Out Elmstead is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. The area within 2 miles of Out Elmstead holds several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
New units and refits on sites such as CT3 Business Park, 1.6 miles to the east of Out Elmstead, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. New wings at hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (to the north-west of Out Elmstead) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Out Elmstead, such as Goodnestone Park, which lies north-east of Out Elmstead, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. Around Out Elmstead, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Advice
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
