When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Approving fire stopping as compliant

Construction mastic in Betsham: the local picture
At about 18 miles from central London, Betsham is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier 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.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Fawkham Business Park (to the south of Betsham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. School extensions, at buildings such as Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Betsham is about 2 miles south-west of Northfleet, in Kent. We send applicators to Betsham for mastic packages. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. London is covered too, around 18 miles from Betsham.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in DA13 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Station Road, Crayburne and Park Corner Road are within our area for mastic packages. You will find Betsham on or near the B262. Just outside Betsham, we also work in Hook Green (1 mile south-east), Southfleet (1 mile south-east), Springhead (1 mile north-east), Ebbsfleet Valley (1 mile north) and Northfleet Green (1 mile east).

Why deal with it now?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Betsham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Betsham: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Betsham, such as Fawkham Business Park?
Yes, sites like Fawkham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Betsham. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near Betsham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Related advice
When to call us in Betsham
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Historic houses such as Cobham College (4.4 miles south-east of Betsham) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
