Construction mastic in Thurnham, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. Site teams most often ask us about frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and mastic snags holding up handover, across sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Thurnham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Thurnham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Mastic packages on Thurnham sites
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Thurnham. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, Thurnham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Thurnham, such as Stoneacre, 2.6 miles south of Thurnham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Hospital estates such as KIMS Hospital (1.4 miles west of Thurnham) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Units on estates such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate (to the west of Thurnham) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
What affects the price in Thurnham
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
FAQs: Thurnham
Is a smaller place like Thurnham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate, near Thurnham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Thurnham, Viewpoint Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. The scope follows your specification.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
