Construction mastic in Boughton under Blean
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Boughton under Blean, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and different trades sealing to different standards. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Boughton under Blean is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Boughton under Blean, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Boughton under Blean can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Questions about Boughton under Blean
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Kent?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Boughton under Blean too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you fit around our programme?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them, sealing as areas become ready.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Signs you need construction mastic in Boughton under Blean
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Waterham Business Park, 2.4 miles to the north of Boughton under Blean, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
