Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of the Creative Arts?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Chartham outside your area?
Not at all. Chartham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
It depends on the specification, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Construction mastic in Chartham
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and mastic snags holding up handover, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions. Whoever orders the work in Chartham, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Chartham 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in Chartham
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Keep product details for future maintenance
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Mastic packages on Chartham sites
Chartham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 51 miles from central London, Chartham is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Projects at schools like Chartham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Work at a hotel such as Howfield Manor Hotel (to the north-east of Chartham) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. On a campus such as University of the Creative Arts, which lies north-east of Chartham, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Chartham is about 3 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. If you are looking for construction mastic in Chartham, we can help, as we do across Kent. Chartham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Chartham, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
