Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Stone Cross may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Stone Cross
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new external sealant already peeling away and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Most enquiries from Stone Cross 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 Stone Cross, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Stone Cross: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Stone Cross outside your area?
Not at all. Stone Cross is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work so we normally switch to internal work when that happens.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Facades, frames and programmes in Stone Cross
Central London is about 28 miles from Stone Cross. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Stone Cross sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Speldhurst Business Park, which lies north-east of Stone Cross, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hospital estates such as Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (3.7 miles east of Stone Cross) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Stone Cross is about 4 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Any commercial site in Stone Cross is covered. Stone Cross is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 24 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout TN3, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Ashurst Road and Groombridge Road. We also cover Ashurst (1 mile west), Fordcombe (1 mile north), Groombridge (1 mile south), Walter's Green (1 mile north-west) and Teasley Mead (1 mile west) for mastic packages. Further afield, our area takes in Sevenoaks (10 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (4 miles east), Tonbridge (7 miles north-east), Kings Hill (14 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (10 miles east) and Southborough (4 miles north-east).

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Stone Cross, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in Stone Cross
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you need construction mastic in Stone Cross?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
When a school such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
