About our construction mastic in Roughdown
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, across brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints. Most enquiries from Roughdown start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Roughdown, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
Roughdown: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hythe Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Roughdown outside your area?
No. Places such as Roughdown are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
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 everything comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Roughdown, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

What else we do in Roughdown
Sites and facades in and around Roughdown
Roughdown lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Roughdown sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Blackfield Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, 2.7 miles west of Roughdown, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Glenmore Business Park, 1.4 miles north of Roughdown, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
