Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Use the product the specification names
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Construction mastic in Chevening, done properly
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Chevening, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and early adhesion failures on new external joints, on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Chevening, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chevening 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

What else we do in Chevening
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Mastic packages on Chevening sites
Chevening is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 17 miles from Chevening. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Donnington Manor Hotel (1.2 miles east of Chevening), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a healthcare site such as Sevenoaks Hospital (2.9 miles east of Chevening), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Chevening is about 3 miles north-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Across the TN14 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. London is covered too, some 17 miles away.

FAQs: Chevening
Will you take on work at estates like North Downs Business Park, close to Chevening?
Yes, sites like North Downs Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chevening. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Sevenoaks Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
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.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Chevening may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Chevening
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Look out for the following:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Older buildings in the area around Chevening, such as Quebec House, which lies south-west of Chevening, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
