Construction mastic in Fosten Green
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you have bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help, whatever the surface.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Fosten Green 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Around Fosten Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Colour agreed before work starts

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Commercial clients in Fosten Green
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Common questions from Fosten Green clients
Is Fosten Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Fosten Green is within our area. 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.
Does your area include sites such as Business Park, near Fosten Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Fosten Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly to suit the programme.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them, sealing as areas become ready.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Construction mastic in Fosten Green: the local picture
Fosten Green lies roughly 42 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. Fosten Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Business Park, 1.7 miles to the south-east of Fosten Green, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Extensions at sites like Benenden Hospital (0.9 miles south of Fosten Green) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
