Construction mastic in Frittenden
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Frittenden? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites around smaller places like Frittenden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Commercial clients in Frittenden
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need construction mastic in Frittenden
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Look out for the following:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
On a healthcare site such as Benenden Hospital, 3.8 miles south of Frittenden, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
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.
