About our construction mastic in Graveney
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is mastic snags holding up handover and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. For commercial sealant work in Graveney, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like Graveney, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects, especially externally. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Graveney. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Your questions answered
Is Graveney off your patch?
Not at all. Graveney is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What else we do in Graveney
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Graveney are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
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.
Construction mastic in Graveney: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Graveney counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Central London is about 46 miles from Graveney. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
On a healthcare site such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, which lies north-east of Graveney, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a school such as Graveney Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Waterham Business Park (to the east of Graveney) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Graveney is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Any commercial site in Graveney is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Graveney. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 46 miles from Graveney.
If you need construction mastic in ME13, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Bigger towns within reach include Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles west), Whitstable (4 miles north-east), Herne Bay (9 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-west).

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
