Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Construction mastic in Lodge Lees, done properly
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Lodge Lees, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. The enquiries we see most involve frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lodge Lees tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Lodge Lees, building work normally 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in Lodge Lees
New build and refits around Lodge Lees
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Lodge Lees has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Units on estates such as Barham Business Park (to the west of Lodge Lees) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Lodge Lees, such as Acrise Place, 3.4 miles south of Lodge Lees, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Lodge Lees is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We send applicators to Lodge Lees for mastic packages. Lodge Lees is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, about 58 miles away.

Landmarks near Lodge Lees
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Jumping Downs and The Jackdaw Inn. Lodge Lees’s nearest station is Shepherds Well station, roughly 3 miles east. Not far away are Cheriton Hill.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Put any product change through the designer first
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Lodge Lees, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Lodge Lees. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Common problems we fix in Lodge Lees
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
Work at a hotel such as Broome Park Hotel, 0.8 miles north-east of Lodge Lees, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Common questions from Lodge Lees clients
Will you take on work at estates like Barham Business Park, close to Lodge Lees?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lodge Lees, Barham Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Lodge Lees?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure, so we wait rather than redo work.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a 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.
