Construction mastic across Hackington
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
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 will say so. Halls, stores and units around places like Hackington may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- One contact handling all your sites
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Construction mastic in Hackington, done properly
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 Hackington. We work on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we are called in for most is inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Searching for sealant specialists in Hackington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Hackington, building work usually 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Hackington: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Saint Martin's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We’re also fully insured for public liability.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
