Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle construction mastic in Loose
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. To price a package in Loose, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Site teams most often ask us about inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Searching for sealant specialists in Loose? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Loose 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Loose
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- New external sealant already peeling away
On a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone (2.4 miles north of Loose), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.

Construction mastic in Loose: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Loose included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 32 miles from central London, Loose is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
New wings at hospitals like The Somerfield Hospital (2.7 miles north of Loose) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a school such as Loose Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Loose is about 2 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Loose sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Loose is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 32 miles from Loose.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Use the product the specification names
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What happens if it’s left?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Converted and older buildings near places like Loose tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply

Loose: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Loose, such as Tovil Green Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Loose and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tovil Green Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
