Building and refurbishing in Godmersham
Godmersham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Godmersham lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital (5.8 miles south of Godmersham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors building in or near Godmersham, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Godmersham is about 7 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT4, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Godmersham is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, around 50 miles from Godmersham.
Commercial sites across CT4 are covered for mastic packages. Among the streets we cover are The Street and Eggarton Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Bilting (1 mile south-west), Mountain Street (1 mile north), Chilham (2 miles north), Old Wives Lees (2 miles north) and Shottenden (3 miles north-west) for mastic packages. Bigger towns within reach include Ashford (7 miles south-west), Canterbury (7 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east), Whitstable (10 miles north) and Faversham (7 miles north-west).

About our construction mastic in Godmersham
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Godmersham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Godmersham, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from Godmersham clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can the mastic package for our job in Godmersham follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Quoting for work in Godmersham
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What happens if it’s left?
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. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Around Godmersham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. If that happens, let us know.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Godmersham are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
