When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Construction mastic in Abbey Gate
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place. If you have old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Abbey Gate? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Abbey Gate bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Questions about Abbey Gate
Do you cover business parks and estates near Abbey Gate, such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Abbey Gate, Viewpoint Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Sites and facades in and around Abbey Gate
Abbey Gate has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Abbey Gate 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.
When a school such as Sandling Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. University estates such as University for the Creative Arts (to the south of Abbey Gate) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Projects at colleges like MidKent College Maidstone Campus (2.2 miles south-west of Abbey Gate) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. If that happens, let us know.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
