Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Richborough Port
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 gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you have new external sealant already peeling away and mastic snags holding up handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Richborough Port first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Richborough Port, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and keeps the snag list down.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Richborough Port are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Signs you need construction mastic in Richborough Port
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.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
For contractors at a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Common questions from Richborough Port clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ramsgate General Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Richborough Port too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Richborough Port is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Facades, frames and programmes in Richborough Port
Richborough Port lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Richborough Port is about 64 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Ramsgate General Hospital (3.2 miles north-east of Richborough Port), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Historic houses such as Quex Park (4.3 miles north of Richborough Port) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Doing it in-house
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
