About our construction mastic in Orlestone
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. If you are dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and different trades sealing to different standards, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Orlestone is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Orlestone is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Orlestone as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Sites and facades in and around Orlestone
At about 50 miles from central London, Orlestone 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. Orlestone is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Hamstreet Primary Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When units on a site such as Meadow View Business Park, 1.5 miles south-east of Orlestone, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Orlestone is about 4 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. We send applicators to Orlestone for mastic packages. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Orlestone. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 46 miles away.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Older rural buildings around Orlestone move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk

Your questions answered
Is Orlestone too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Orlestone is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Meadow View Business Park, near Orlestone?
Yes, sites like Meadow View Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Orlestone. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
What accreditations do you hold?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. Public liability insurance is in place.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Orlestone can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.

When to call us in Orlestone
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
New wings at hospitals like William Harvey Hospital, 5.3 miles to the north-east of Orlestone, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
