About our construction mastic in Teston
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and early adhesion failures on new external joints, we can help, on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Teston tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Teston, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Teston
Is Teston off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
Do you need construction mastic in Teston?
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
For contractors at a school such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Teston, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it 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.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
