Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
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. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
What affects the price in Upper Bush
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Facades, frames and programmes in Upper Bush
Upper Bush sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Upper Bush is about 24 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a school such as Cuxton Community Infant School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, 3.4 miles to the east of Upper Bush, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

FAQs: Upper Bush
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Strood Retail Park, by Upper Bush?
Yes. Our area takes in Upper Bush and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Strood Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if it’s left?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Around Upper Bush, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
When to call us in Upper Bush
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Hospital estates such as French Hospital, 3.2 miles to the east of Upper Bush, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
