Construction mastic in Appledore
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Appledore, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Appledore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Appledore is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height

Common questions from Appledore clients
Is Appledore too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Appledore?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll 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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Construction mastic in Appledore: the local picture
Central London is about 50 miles from Appledore. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
With historic properties like Smallhythe Place (to the west of Appledore) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Appledore is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Appledore is covered. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Appledore. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 42 miles from Appledore.
We cover the TN26 postcode districts for mastic packages. For a building on The Street, Old Way and Court Lodge Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. Just outside Appledore, we also work in Appledore Heath (1 mile north), Stone in Oxney (1 mile south-west), Reading Street (2 miles west), Stone Corner (3 miles west) and Brattle (3 miles north). A short drive away, we cover Ashford (8 miles north-east), Hythe (13 miles east), Tenterden (5 miles north-west), Kennington (10 miles north-east), New Romney (7 miles south-east) and Staplehurst (14 miles north-west).

Why it’s worth doing now in Appledore
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Converted and older buildings near places like Appledore tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we are called out for in Appledore
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Swan Hotel (under half a mile east of Appledore), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
