About our construction mastic in Garlinge Green
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Garlinge Green, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Most enquiries involve mastic snags holding up handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, across sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Garlinge Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Garlinge Green, building work typically 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What happens if it’s left?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Converted and older buildings near places like Garlinge Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Contractors’ notes for Garlinge Green
Garlinge Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 52 miles from central London, Garlinge Green is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hospital estates such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital, 3.5 miles north-east of Garlinge Green, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors on a campus like University of the Creative Arts, 3.9 miles to the north-east of Garlinge Green, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. New units and refits on sites such as Stour Valley Business Park (2 miles north of Garlinge Green) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Stour Valley Business Park, by Garlinge Green?
Yes. We cover Garlinge Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stour Valley Business Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kent and Canterbury Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
