Construction mastic for Kent Street sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Construction mastic in Kent Street
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility and gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you’re dealing with early adhesion failures on new external joints and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kent Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Kent Street, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Construction mastic in Kent Street: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Kent Street takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Central London is about 49 miles from Kent Street. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
With historic properties like Durhamford Manor (2.2 miles north-west of Kent Street) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Work at a hotel such as Claverton Country House Hotel, less than half a mile south of Kent Street, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Kent Street is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Commercial clients in Kent Street use us for work on mastic packages. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 30 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification.
When to call us in Kent Street
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
When a school such as Ark Helenswood Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Kent Street: questions and answers
Is Kent Street too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kent Street are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Rural sites near Kent Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
