Facades, frames and programmes in Broad Tenterden
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. Broad Tenterden has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a healthcare site such as West View Hospital (0.8 miles west of Broad Tenterden), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. With historic properties like Smallhythe Place, 1.6 miles south of Broad Tenterden, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Construction mastic in Broad Tenterden, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, across brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Broad Tenterden, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Broad Tenterden is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
FAQs: Broad Tenterden
Can you work on a hospital site such as West View Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Broad Tenterden off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. 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.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Broad Tenterden need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Related advice
When to call us in Broad Tenterden
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Pickhill Business Centre, 0.5 miles south of Broad Tenterden, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
