What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Fordcombe
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you’re dealing with mastic snags holding up handover and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fordcombe from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Common questions from Fordcombe clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fordcombe, such as Speldhurst Business Park?
Yes, sites like Speldhurst Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fordcombe. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Kent and Sussex Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Rural sites near Fordcombe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close

New build and refits around Fordcombe
Fordcombe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Fordcombe lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Extensions at sites like Kent and Sussex Hospital (to the east of Fordcombe) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 3 miles to the east of Fordcombe, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

What we’re called out for in Fordcombe
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Older buildings in the area around Fordcombe, such as Groombridge Place, which lies south of Fordcombe, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
