About our construction mastic in Martin
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. The enquiries we see most involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Martin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Martin can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Converted and older buildings near places like Martin tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Signs you need construction mastic in Martin
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like White Cliffs Business Park, 2.4 miles south-west of Martin, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Mastic packages on Martin sites
Martin is within about 3 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Martin is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Older buildings in the area around Martin, such as Walmer Castle, 3 miles north-east of Martin, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Extensions at sites like Royal Victoria Hospital, 3.6 miles to the south-west of Martin, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Martin is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. We send applicators to Martin for mastic packages. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 66 miles away.

FAQs: Martin
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does the sea air around Martin change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Public liability insurance is in place.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

When it isn’t the sealant
