About our construction mastic in Sandling
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place and gives you a consistent finish across the job. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. Most enquiries from Sandling start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Sandling, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Sandling outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. We use the specified perimeter sealant, normally a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone and set the depth with backing where needed.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Sandling
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
What affects the price in Sandling
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Facades, frames and programmes in Sandling
With the shore within about 2 miles, Sandling counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Sandling has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Swan Hotel (1.3 miles south-east of Sandling), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When a school such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. With historic properties like Westenhanger Castle (to the west of Sandling) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Sandling is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Sandling for work on mastic packages. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Sandling. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 55 miles away.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sandling are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
