Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
About our construction mastic in Culmers
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Culmers. Most enquiries involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and mastic snags holding up handover, across cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Culmers is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

What affects the price in Culmers
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Construction mastic around Culmers: points for this area
Culmers sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at schools like Graveney Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (to the north-east of Culmers) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Culmers is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Culmers for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page (46 miles or so).

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant

Culmers: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Whitstable and Tankerton 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.
Is Culmers too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What we are called out for in Culmers
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
New units and refits on sites such as Waterham Business Park (to the east of Culmers) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Culmers can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
