Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Construction mastic in Sissinghurst
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Sissinghurst, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The enquiries we see most involve a long mastic snag list close to completion and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Sissinghurst 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.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Sissinghurst is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

New build and refits around Sissinghurst
Central London is about 39 miles from Sissinghurst. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. A 2-mile radius around Sissinghurst takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Units on estates such as Hartley Dyke Business Centre (2.6 miles south-west of Sissinghurst) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Cranbrook School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Benenden Hospital, 3.1 miles south-east of Sissinghurst, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Sissinghurst is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Sissinghurst, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 931 places in Kent. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 36 miles from Sissinghurst.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout TN17, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are The Street, Milkhouse Cottages and Cobnut Close, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Sissinghurst, we also work in Wilsley Pound (1 mile west), Cranbrook Common (1 mile north), Wilsley Green (1 mile south-west), Knox Bridge (2 miles north) and Colliers Green (2 miles west).

Sissinghurst: questions and answers
Is Sissinghurst off your patch?
Not at all. Sissinghurst is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Benenden Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Send the snag list or photos and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sissinghurst
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 Sissinghurst. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Commercial clients in Sissinghurst
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sissinghurst are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
