Construction mastic for Knave's Ash sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price 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.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
About our construction mastic in Knave's Ash
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: 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. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Knave's Ash 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.
Sites around smaller places like Knave's Ash can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Knave's Ash
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Questions about Knave's Ash
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Knave's Ash too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Knave's Ash
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Knave's Ash. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Sites and facades in and around Knave's Ash
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Knave's Ash. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. At about 55 miles from central London, Knave's Ash is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
University estates such as University of Kent (4.8 miles south-west of Knave's Ash) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Hoath Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north of Knave's Ash, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
