Havering's Grove: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Havering's Grove?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Brentwood Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll agree the approach together.

What we are called out for in Havering's Grove
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Water coming in around window frames
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Brentwood Community Hospital (2.9 miles west of Havering's Grove), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:

- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

Contractors’ notes for Havering's Grove
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 22 miles from central London, Havering's Grove is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
School extensions, at buildings such as The Billericay School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. With historic properties like Ingatestone Hall (2.4 miles north of Havering's Grove) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Different surfaces, different methods

Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
