Construction mastic in Farningham: the local picture

A 2-mile radius around Farningham takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

Projects at schools like The Anthony Roper Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Units on estates such as Southern Cross Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles to the north-west of Farningham, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Farningham is about 5 miles south of Dartford, in Kent. Commercial clients in Farningham can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Kent. Farningham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic packages. Our London page has more on work in that area (16 miles or so).

Construction mastic in Farningham

A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. Site teams most often ask us about new external sealant already peeling away and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Farningham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Around smaller places like Farningham, building work typically 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.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Owners, agents and contractors

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
  • Faulty frames rather than failed sealant

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Farningham

  • Window and door perimeters
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Cladding and panel joints

Cost factors for mastic packages

What shapes the price:

  • Phasing around occupants
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

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 to include in your enquiry

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • What the building is and how it’s used

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods

Internal decorators’ caulk

Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.

Snagging before handover

Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area.

Signs you need construction mastic in Farningham

A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.

Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:

  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
  • Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
  • Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
  • Different trades sealing to different standards

Building work at universities like University of Greenwich (4.7 miles north-east of Farningham) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

What your quote should include

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Their public liability cover
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Farningham: questions and answers

Is Farningham too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Darenth Park Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?

The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.

Can you come in just for snagging?

Yes, we can. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows, then clear it to your programme.

What hours do you work?

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

How a job runs

At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Farningham are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
  2. You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
  3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
  4. Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
  6. Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

What we need from you

  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Arrange parking or a loading space

Ask for a quote

The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
