Do you need construction mastic in Biddenden?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
School extensions, at buildings such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Comparing quotes
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Around Biddenden, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Biddenden
Is Business Park, near Biddenden, within your area?
Yes. We cover Biddenden and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Biddenden outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Construction mastic in Biddenden: the local picture
Biddenden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 41 miles from central London, Biddenden 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.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Benenden Hospital, 2.3 miles south-west of Biddenden, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Business Park, 2.5 miles south of Biddenden, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What else we do in Biddenden
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
