Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Charing
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you’re dealing with perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Charing it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a smaller place such as Charing, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Construction mastic in Charing: the local picture
Charing lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Charing sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Charing Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Charing is about 6 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN27, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Questions about Charing
Is Charing too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Charing?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What we are called out for in Charing
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
With historic properties like Godinton House, 3.9 miles south-east of Charing, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
