Construction mastic in Teynham, done properly
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you’re dealing with missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and a long mastic snag list close to completion, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Teynham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around places like Teynham, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Teynham
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Facades, frames and programmes in Teynham
With the shore within about 3 miles, Teynham counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Teynham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Hotels like Hempstead House Hotel, 1.3 miles to the west of Teynham, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Further education sites such as KITE College (2.6 miles north-west of Teynham) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Common problems we fix in Teynham
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
Older buildings in the area around Teynham, such as Belmont House and Gardens (4.4 miles south-east of Teynham), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What else we do in Teynham
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
FAQs: Teynham
Does the sea air around Teynham change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Teynham too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
