Questions we are asked in Farthing Green
Is Farthing Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Farthing Green?
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 it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Construction mastic in Farthing Green, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new external sealant already peeling away and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Farthing Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Farthing Green, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Farthing Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.

When to call us in Farthing Green
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
New units and refits on sites such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles south-east of Farthing Green, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What affects the price in Farthing Green
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:

Building and refurbishing in Farthing Green
Farthing Green lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Farthing Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Stoneacre, 4.4 miles north of Farthing Green, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Farthing Green is about 6 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Across the TN12 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Farthing Green. London is covered too, some 37 miles away.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Use the product the specification names
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
