How construction mastic works in Medway
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Medway, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. The enquiries we see most involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and new external sealant already peeling away, on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters.
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

For rail, the closest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west.

Building work around Medway
We take on mastic packages across Medway, on large sites in places such as Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester and small schemes elsewhere. Whatever paperwork the site requires, from RAMS to CSCS details, we confirm when we quote.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and Medway is part of the area we cover. In the parts of Medway near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Gillingham: Projects at colleges like MidKent College Gillingham Campus (2.1 miles north-west of Gillingham) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. University estates such as University of Greenwich - Medway (2.4 miles north-west of Gillingham) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What site paperwork they can supply
What affects the price in Medway
These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Your questions answered
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
