About our construction mastic in Tenterden

Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Tenterden 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 a smaller place such as Tenterden, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Tenterden as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?

On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. In a smaller place such as Tenterden, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Why us?

  • Colour options checked against the specified product
  • Clear, fixed quotes
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Our process

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Tenterden, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.

  1. We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
  2. We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
  3. You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
  4. Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
  5. Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

FAQs: Tenterden

Is Tenterden too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you work on a hospital site such as West View Hospital?

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

What will the job cost?

It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?

Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.

Can you quote from photos?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

When something else is needed

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Glazing units that are cracked or misted
  • Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
  • Rework caused by others damaging completed areas

If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Window and door perimeters

For managing agents and facilities managers

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Doing it in-house

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 easy to get wrong without experience.

Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Cost factors for mastic packages

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • How accessible the joints are

Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What to include in your enquiry

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Contractors’ notes for Tenterden

Tenterden is about 45 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

When a school such as Tenterden Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Extensions at sites like West View Hospital, 0.8 miles south-west of Tenterden, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Woolpack Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Tenterden, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Tenterden is about 9 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN30 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Brighton, some 39 miles away.

We take on mastic packages across the TN30 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. If your site is on Golden Square, High Street and Station Road or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. Being close to the A28 and B2067, Tenterden is straightforward for us to reach. Close to Tenterden, our area also takes in Broad Tenterden (1 mile south), St Michaels (1 mile north), Strood (2 miles west), London Beach (2 miles north) and Parkgate (2 miles north-west). Further afield, our area takes in Maidstone (15 miles north-west), Ashford (9 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (15 miles north-west), Bearsted (15 miles north), Park Wood (13 miles north-west) and Kennington (11 miles north-east).
