Popeswood construction mastic

Different surfaces, different methods

External facade and movement joints

Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.

Snagging before handover

The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area.

Why act early in Popeswood

Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.

Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
