How we handle construction mastic in Broad Ford
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Broad Ford, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Site teams most often ask us about snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, across cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Broad Ford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Broad Ford can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Mastic packages on Broad Ford sites
Rainfall across the South East, Broad Ford included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 35 miles from Broad Ford. 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.
Hotels like The Star And Eagle Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Broad Ford, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Older buildings in the area around Broad Ford, such as Scotney Castle, which lies south-west of Broad Ford, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When a school such as Horsmonden Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Your questions answered
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Broad Ford?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Broad Ford off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
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.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. For buildings around smaller places like Broad Ford, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
