Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- 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)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
How we handle construction mastic in Ickham
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we’re fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. If you have sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help, on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ickham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Ickham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Ickham
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Wingham Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Ickham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Wingham Industrial Estate, near Ickham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ickham, Wingham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Martins 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.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
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.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ickham
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ickham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Facades, frames and programmes in Ickham
Central London is about 57 miles from Ickham. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
On a healthcare site such as St Martins Hospital (3.3 miles west of Ickham), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

How a job runs
