Construction mastic in Patrixbourne
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and what we’re called in for most is external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Whoever orders the work in Patrixbourne, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Patrixbourne, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions from Patrixbourne clients
Is Patrixbourne off your patch?
No. Places such as Patrixbourne are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. For buildings around smaller places like Patrixbourne, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.
