Construction mastic in Buttsole
We work to the specification and the programme 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. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and a long mastic snag list close to completion. Whoever orders the work in Buttsole, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Buttsole is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Buttsole can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it 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.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Halls, stores and units around places like Buttsole may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Common questions from Buttsole clients
Can you keep pace with our programme in Buttsole?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Buttsole off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

Facades, frames and programmes in Buttsole
Buttsole lies roughly 63 miles out from central London. 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. The South East is one of the drier 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, 1.5 miles north-west of Buttsole, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a school such as Eastry Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Buttsole is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Looking for construction mastic in Buttsole? We can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 63 miles from Buttsole.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we’re called out for in Buttsole
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is usually the first to crack. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
With historic properties like Goodnestone Park, 3.5 miles west of Buttsole, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
What to look for in a quote
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
