About our construction mastic in Shorne
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Shorne it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Shorne 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Questions about Shorne
Does the sea air around Shorne change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work at a site such as Nuralite Industrial Estate, by Shorne?
Yes. Our area takes in Shorne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Nuralite Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick 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. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
Sites and facades in and around Shorne
Shorne sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 23 miles from central London, Shorne 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.
Units on estates such as Nuralite Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Shorne) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at colleges like North Kent College Gravesend Campus, 2 miles north-west of Shorne, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Shorne is about 2 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. Looking for construction mastic in Shorne? We can help, as we do across Kent. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 23 miles away.

Around Shorne
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Rose and Crown pub, Shorne Woods Country Park and Thamesview School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Higham station, roughly 1.7 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Gravesham Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Gravesham Community Hospital (3.4 miles north-west). The countryside around Shorne includes Rede Common and Gad's Hill.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Older rural buildings around Shorne move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Do you need construction mastic in Shorne?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Mastic snags holding up handover
On a healthcare site such as Gravesham Community Hospital, 3.4 miles to the north-west of Shorne, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
