About our construction mastic in Aylesford
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Most enquiries involve mastic snags holding up handover and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Aylesford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
On a small site around Aylesford, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.

Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Advice
FAQs: Aylesford
Is Aylesford too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like South Aylesford Retail Park, close to Aylesford?
Yes. Our area takes in Aylesford and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as South Aylesford Retail Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Can you work to our specification?
We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
