About our construction mastic in New Romney
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in New Romney, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in New Romney, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places like New Romney, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common problems we fix in New Romney
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Peak Industrial Park, 2.3 miles to the south-west of New Romney, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Work in places the size of New Romney is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows

What else we do in New Romney
What happens if it’s left?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Construction mastic around New Romney: how the place shapes the job
New Romney is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of New Romney holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Ship Hotel (less than half a mile north of New Romney), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Projects at schools like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout New Romney, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. New Romney is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page (48 miles or so).
Commercial sites across TN28 are covered for mastic packages. If your site is on High Street, Church Road and Station Road or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. Being close to the A259 and B2071, New Romney is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Nearby places we also cover include Littlestone-on-Sea (1 mile east), Greatstone-on-Sea (1 mile south-east), St Mary in the Marsh (2 miles north), St Mary's Bay (2 miles north-east) and Old Romney (2 miles west) for mastic packages. Further afield, our area takes in Ashford (11 miles north), Folkestone (12 miles north-east), Hythe (8 miles north-east), Hawkinge (13 miles north-east), Tenterden (12 miles north-west) and Cheriton (11 miles north-east).

Questions we’re asked in New Romney
Can you work at a site such as Peak Industrial Park, by New Romney?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around New Romney, Peak Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in New Romney is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens, all priced as one package.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
