Construction mastic in Small Hythe
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and different trades sealing to different standards, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Small Hythe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Small Hythe bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Small Hythe need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Small Hythe
Small Hythe is about 47 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The area within 2 miles of Small Hythe holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Pickhill Business Centre, 0.9 miles to the north of Small Hythe, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. With historic properties like Smallhythe Place (0.2 miles south of Small Hythe) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Questions about Small Hythe
Is Small Hythe off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Pickhill Business Centre, close to Small Hythe?
Yes, sites like Pickhill Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Small Hythe. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photos and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Do you need construction mastic in Small Hythe?
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 use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
On a healthcare site such as West View Hospital, which lies north-west of Small Hythe, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Older rural buildings around Small Hythe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
