Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How we handle construction mastic in Flete
We work to the specification and the programme. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. If you are dealing with mastic snags holding up handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Flete tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Flete is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Construction mastic in Flete: the local picture
Flete lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Hussar Hotel (1.4 miles north-west of Flete), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. For contractors at a college like Nelson College London (1.5 miles east of Flete), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Flete is about 1 mile south-west of Margate, in Kent. Anywhere in CT9, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Flete. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 64 miles from Flete.
Postcode districts covered here: CT9. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Victoria Road, Flete Road and Norfolk Road and the roads nearby. Nearby places we also cover include Westwood (1 mile east), Haine (1 mile south-east), Manston (1 mile south), Garlinge (1 mile north-west) and Margate (1 mile north-east).

Around Flete
We work on buildings around Hartsdown Academy and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Margate station, roughly 1.5 miles north. Nearby you will also find Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.3 miles north-east) and Westwood Cross (1.1 miles east). Open spaces near Flete include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Westwood Industrial Estate, near Flete?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Flete, Westwood Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What we’re called out for in Flete
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Look out for the following:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Mastic snags holding up handover
When units on a site such as Westwood Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles east of Flete, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
