Common questions from Northfleet clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does a coastal location like Northfleet affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
About our construction mastic in Northfleet
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. The enquiries we see most involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and cracks opening in caulked internal joints, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Searching for sealant specialists in Northfleet? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For contractors on site in a town like Northfleet, the mastic has to fit the programme: perimeters sealed before scaffold is struck, internal sealant after decoration, snags before handover. Tell us the programme and we will quote to it.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Contractors’ notes for Northfleet
Northfleet sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Northfleet included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at colleges like North West Kent College, 2.1 miles to the east of Northfleet, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. When units on a site such as Imperial Business Park, 0.9 miles north-east of Northfleet, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Northfleet is about 5 miles east of Dartford, in Kent. We send applicators to Northfleet for mastic packages. Northfleet is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Sites around London have their own page, about 20 miles away.

What we are called out for in Northfleet
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
For a contractor at a hotel such as Jessamine House Hotel (0.7 miles north-west of Northfleet), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Advice
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
