How we handle construction mastic in Chartham Hatch
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have new external sealant already peeling away and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chartham Hatch first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Chartham Hatch, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common problems we fix in Chartham Hatch
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
When units on a site such as CMA Industrial Park (to the south-east of Chartham Hatch) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are usually sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which with colours matched to the frame where needed.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk

- Floor and skirting junctions

Questions about Chartham Hatch
Is a smaller place like Chartham Hatch outside your area?
Not at all. Chartham Hatch is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like CMA Industrial Park, close to Chartham Hatch?
Yes. We cover Chartham Hatch and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as CMA Industrial Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you fit around our programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.

Contractors’ notes for Chartham Hatch
Chartham Hatch is about 50 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Chartham Hatch included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When a school such as The Canterbury Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hotels like Howfield Manor Hotel (1 mile south-east of Chartham Hatch) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
