About our construction mastic in Tankerton
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tankerton from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Building work in places the size of Tankerton is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Commercial clients in Tankerton
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, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a job in Tankerton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- 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
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Why act early in Tankerton
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. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. In a smaller place such as Tankerton, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Tankerton choose us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One contact handling all your sites
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
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 when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
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. If that happens, let us know.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
Common questions from Tankerton clients
Can work at a site such as University of Kent fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as John Wilson Industrial Estate, by Tankerton?
Yes. We cover Tankerton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as John Wilson Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Sites and facades in and around Tankerton
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Tankerton. 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. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Tankerton. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
New units and refits on sites such as John Wilson Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles to the south-east of Tankerton, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Marine Hotel (under half a mile west of Tankerton), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, under half a mile south-east of Tankerton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Tankerton is about 1 mile north-east of Whitstable, in Kent. We send applicators to Tankerton for mastic packages. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. We also cover London, some 50 miles away.
