Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Lynsted
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lynsted is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites around smaller places like Lynsted can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Lynsted, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lynsted
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- New external sealant already peeling away
New wings at hospitals like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, 2.7 miles north-west of Lynsted, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why it’s worth doing now in Lynsted
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Halls, stores and units around places like Lynsted may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us

Building and refurbishing in Lynsted
The South East is one of the drier 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. Lynsted is about 40 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
New units and refits on sites such as Kent Science Park, 2.7 miles west of Lynsted, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Projects at schools like Lynsted and Norton Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
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.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
