For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Construction mastic in Kingsdown
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. The enquiries we see most involve early adhesion failures on new external joints and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kingsdown from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Kingsdown, building work usually 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsdown
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Kingsdown, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Construction mastic around Kingsdown: what changes locally
Kingsdown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 40 miles from central London, Kingsdown is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital (2.7 miles north-west of Kingsdown), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Older buildings in the area around Kingsdown, such as Belmont House and Gardens, 3.9 miles south-east of Kingsdown, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 4.4 miles south-west of Kingsdown, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.

- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Questions we are asked in Kingsdown
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
