How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Cranbrook Common, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Construction mastic in Cranbrook Common, done properly
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. Most enquiries from Cranbrook Common 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 Cranbrook Common, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Cranbrook Common. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Construction mastic around Cranbrook Common: what changes locally
At about 38 miles from central London, Cranbrook Common is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Cranbrook Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hotels like Wilsley Hotel, 1.5 miles south-west of Cranbrook Common, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. School extensions, at buildings such as Cranbrook School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we’re called out for in Cranbrook Common
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Typical triggers for a call:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Extensions at sites like Benenden Hospital (3.5 miles south-east of Cranbrook Common) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
