What about RAMS and site documents?

About our construction mastic in Lower Hardres
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades. Whoever orders the work in Lower Hardres, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Lower Hardres, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What affects the price in Lower Hardres
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building

- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Construction mastic in Lower Hardres: the local picture
At about 54 miles from central London, Lower Hardres is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Lower Hardres sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Projects at colleges like Canterbury College, 2.9 miles north of Lower Hardres, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Projects at schools like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New wings at hospitals like The Chaucer Hospital, 1.9 miles north of Lower Hardres, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
