About our construction mastic in Caring
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Caring, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. Most enquiries involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints. For commercial sealant work in Caring, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Caring, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions from Caring clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like KIMS Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you work to our specification?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Sites and facades in and around Caring
At about 34 miles from central London, Caring is within reach of the capital. 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. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When units on a site such as Park Wood Trading Estate, 1.7 miles south-west of Caring, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Building work at universities like Canterbury Christ Church University (3.8 miles east of Caring) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Caring is about 3 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. If you are looking for construction mastic in Caring, we can help, as we do across Kent. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Caring among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 34 miles away.

Advice
Do you need construction mastic in Caring?
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
For contractors at a college like Kent Police College, which lies west of Caring, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Caring can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
