Construction mastic in Chiddingstone Causeway
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers. If you are dealing with new external sealant already peeling away and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help. Most enquiries from Chiddingstone Causeway start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Chiddingstone Causeway, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. 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. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Chiddingstone Causeway, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it 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.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
Quoting for work in Chiddingstone Causeway
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Older rural buildings around Chiddingstone Causeway move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Failed material removed, not covered up
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
