Construction mastic in Gill's Green, done properly
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Gill's Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Gill's Green can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Questions about Gill's Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Gill's Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you need construction mastic in Gill's Green?
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Look out for the following:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
Work at a hotel such as The Queen's Hotel (1 mile south of Gill's Green) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their public liability cover
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Older rural buildings around Gill's Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Read what affects the cost and our accreditations.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- The product specified
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
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.
Building and refurbishing in Gill's Green
Gill's Green 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. Central London is about 40 miles from Gill's Green. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Older buildings in the area around Gill's Green, such as Scotney Castle, 4.8 miles to the north-west of Gill's Green, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Hospital estates such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital (1.2 miles south-west of Gill's 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.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
