About our construction mastic in Five Wents
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and new external sealant already peeling away. Whoever orders the work in Five Wents, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Five Wents, building work normally 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Common questions from Five Wents clients
Is Five Wents too far out for you?
No. Places such as Five Wents are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Five Wents, such as Park Wood Trading Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Five Wents, Park Wood Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
What we are called out for in Five Wents
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, so they end up back on the snag list.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Mastic snags holding up handover
Projects at colleges like Kent Police College (to the north-west of Five Wents) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Comparing quotes
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Rural sites near Five Wents may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

- Cladding and panel joints

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
