Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
About our construction mastic in Chattenden
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Chattenden, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chattenden bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Rural sites near Chattenden may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Leave it or put it right?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Converted and older buildings near places like Chattenden tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich - Medway?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Mastic packages on Chattenden sites
Chattenden lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Chattenden 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.

For contractors at a college like MidKent College Gillingham Campus (1.9 miles south of Chattenden), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital, which lies south of Chattenden, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
