Construction mastic in Lenham Forstal, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. Site teams most often ask us about window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, across brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lenham Forstal it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Lenham Forstal bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sets the cost

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote

FAQs: Lenham Forstal
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Lenham Forstal outside your area?
No. Places such as Lenham Forstal are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When to call us in Lenham Forstal
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
For a contractor at a hotel such as Chilston Park Hotel, which lies west of Lenham Forstal, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
