How we handle construction mastic in Aylesham
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, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Aylesham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions around smaller places like Aylesham often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
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 are upfront about that.

Construction mastic around Aylesham: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Aylesham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 59 miles from Aylesham. 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.
New wings at hospitals like St Martins Hospital (to the north-west of Aylesham) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Aylesham Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south-west of Aylesham) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like Aylesham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Aylesham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Any commercial site in Aylesham is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Aylesham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic packages. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 59 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout CT3, whatever the building. Streets here include Market Place, Mexborough Square and Derwent Way, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
Leave it or put it right?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. In a smaller place such as Aylesham, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Fully insured

FAQs: Aylesham
Does your area include sites such as Aylesham Industrial Estate, near Aylesham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Aylesham, Aylesham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Martins Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging, all priced as one package.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team.
Can you work to our specification?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Aylesham need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
