About our construction mastic in Howt Green
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a long mastic snag list close to completion and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Howt Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Howt Green, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.
Sites and facades in and around Howt Green
Howt Green is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Howt Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors at a college like KITE College, which lies south-east of Howt Green, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. On a healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, which lies south of Howt Green, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Why it’s worth doing now in Howt Green
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around Howt Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Signs you need construction mastic in Howt Green
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink and internal caulk in a moving joint is usually the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- New external sealant already peeling away
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Newington Enterprise Centre (2.2 miles west of Howt Green) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Common questions from Howt Green clients
Does the sea air around Howt Green change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.

Yes. We cover Howt Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Newington Enterprise Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What does a mastic package normally include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
