Fant: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
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 we wait rather than redo work.
Can you fit around our programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Construction mastic in Fant
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Most enquiries from Fant 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.
Conversions around smaller places like Fant often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Work in places the size of Fant is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Note which sealant went where at handover
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
What affects the price in Fant
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. In a smaller place such as Fant, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Public liability insurance in place
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
New build and refits around Fant
Fant is about 30 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Fant is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New units and refits on sites such as Tovil Green Business Park (to the east of Fant) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Fant, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotels like Grange Moor Hotel (0.7 miles east of Fant) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Fant is about 2 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover Fant and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Fant is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page.
