About our construction mastic in Lamberhurst
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Lamberhurst, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Lamberhurst, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Lamberhurst, 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.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Building and refurbishing in Lamberhurst
Lamberhurst 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, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 35 miles from central London, Lamberhurst is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Historic houses such as Scotney Castle (to the south-east of Lamberhurst) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Lamberhurst is about 6 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lamberhurst can call on us for mastic packages. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Brighton is covered too, some 29 miles away.

Questions about Lamberhurst
Can you keep pace with our programme in Lamberhurst?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ticehurst House Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
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, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.

What else we do in Lamberhurst
When to call us in Lamberhurst
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Hospital estates such as Ticehurst House Hospital, 3.5 miles south of Lamberhurst, 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.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How a job runs
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Lamberhurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
