Construction mastic in Sturry, done properly
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 one applicator team gives a consistent finish. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and new external sealant already peeling away. For commercial sealant work in Sturry, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions around smaller places like Sturry often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Facades, frames and programmes in Sturry
Sturry is about 54 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Sturry is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When units on a site such as Buddy's Retail Park, under half a mile north-west of Sturry, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at colleges like Canterbury College, 2.5 miles south-west of Sturry, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Sturry is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Sturry can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Sturry. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 54 miles from Sturry.

Near you in Sturry
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Frank Montgomery School, Chequer's Wood and Old Park and The Swan Inn, among other places. Sturry has its own railway station: Sturry station.

What we’re called out for in Sturry
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
Building work at universities like Canterbury Christ Church University (to the south-west of Sturry) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Sturry
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why clients in Sturry choose us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Several jobs near Sturry can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- 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 right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
