Construction mastic across Herne Common
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

Why deal with it now?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Halls, stores and units around places like Herne Common may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Contractors’ notes for Herne Common
Herne Common lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The area within 2 miles of Herne Common holds several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When units on a site such as Eddington Business Park (to the north of Herne Common) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. School extensions, at buildings such as Herne Church of England Infant School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 1.9 miles north-east of Herne Common, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Common questions from Herne Common clients
Can being near the sea in Herne Common affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Kent?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems so it’s better to wait.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
