Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Dungeness
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, across floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Whoever orders the work in Dungeness, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Dungeness 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. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Sites and facades in and around Dungeness
With the shore within about 1 mile, Dungeness counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Dungeness is about 61 miles from central London. 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.
A facade joint near Dungeness lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

Dungeness: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Dungeness change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can the mastic package for our job in Dungeness follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure so it’s better to wait.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured for public liability.
Doing it in-house
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Use the product the specification names
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Dungeness need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
When to call us in Dungeness
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
On any site in or around Dungeness, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Before you book anyone
- Their public liability cover
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Quoting for work in Dungeness
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
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 will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
