What affects the price in Fordwich
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply

Construction mastic in Fordwich, done properly
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Fordwich, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. The enquiries we see most involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fordwich, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Fordwich, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
FAQs: Fordwich
Does your area include sites such as Buddy's Retail Park, near Fordwich?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fordwich, Buddy's Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Fordwich off your patch?
Not at all. Fordwich is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on and damaged joints are redone properly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
On site: what to expect

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Older rural buildings around Fordwich move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What else we do in Fordwich
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Construction mastic in Fordwich: the local picture
At about 54 miles from central London, Fordwich is within reach of the capital. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Fordwich included, is lower than in many 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.
Extensions at sites like Saint Martin's Hospital, 1.5 miles south-west of Fordwich, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors at a school such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. University estates such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 2 miles south-west of Fordwich, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Fordwich is about 2 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT2, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Fordwich is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic packages. Sites around London have their own page, about 54 miles away.

We also cover Littlebourne (2 miles south-east), Bekesbourne Hill (2 miles south), Wickhambreaux (3 miles east), Ickham (3 miles south-east) and Patrixbourne (3 miles south).
