Construction mastic near Broad Oak
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broad Oak are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

How we handle construction mastic in Broad Oak
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Broad Oak? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site near Broad Oak, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
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 rules also count.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Use the product the specification names
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Mastic packages on Broad Oak sites
At about 54 miles from central London, Broad Oak is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Broad Oak sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Saint Martin's Hospital, which lies south of Broad Oak, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. School extensions, at buildings such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For contractors on a campus like University of Kent, which lies south-west of Broad Oak, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Broad Oak is about 2 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Broad Oak use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Kent. Broad Oak is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. We also cover London, some 54 miles away.
If you need construction mastic in CT2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. For a building on Porty Road, Madeleine Road and Dragon Way or nearby, send details and we will quote for mastic packages.

Bigger towns within reach include Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Ramsgate (13 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east), Whitstable (5 miles north-west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).

Why deal with it now?
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Broad Oak. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Common questions from Broad Oak clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Broad Oak too far out for you?
Not at all. Broad Oak is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
