About our construction mastic in Harvel
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. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Harvel. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Harvel, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Harvel, 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.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Bowes Industrial Centre, near Harvel?
Yes. We cover Harvel and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bowes Industrial Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Harvel off your patch?
Not at all. Harvel is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Mastic packages on Harvel sites
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Harvel lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bowes Industrial Centre, 1.3 miles north-west of Harvel, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Older buildings in the area around Harvel, such as Cobham College, 3.4 miles north-east of Harvel, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as Culverstone Green Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Harvel is about 6 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Any commercial site in Harvel is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Harvel is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic packages. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 23 miles from Harvel.

What else we do in Harvel
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Harvel are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints

- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- 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.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
