Construction mastic in The Moor, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in The Moor it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In the countryside around places like The Moor, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from The Moor clients
Will you take on work at estates like Hawkhurst Station Business Park, close to The Moor?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around The Moor, Hawkhurst Station Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like The Moor outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What we are called out for in The Moor
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Extensions at sites like Hawkhurst Community Hospital (to the north-west of The Moor) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints

What affects the price in The Moor
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What else we do in The Moor
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For work around The Moor, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Contractors’ notes for The Moor
The Moor 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. The Moor is about 41 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors at a school such as Marlborough House School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Older buildings in the area around The Moor, such as Great Dixter (4.8 miles south-east of The Moor), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
The Moor is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. The Moor sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 31 miles from The Moor.
