About our construction mastic in Keycol
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Keycol. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Keycol first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Keycol is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Keycol: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Keycol affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Would you work within a site like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Quoting for work in Keycol
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Use the product the specification names
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Keycol, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Construction mastic around Keycol: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Keycol. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Keycol is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Further education sites such as Sittingbourne College (to the south-east of Keycol) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. When units on a site such as Newington Enterprise Centre (1 mile north-west of Keycol) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. School extensions, at buildings such as Borden Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

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.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
