Why it’s worth doing now in Tickham
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. For buildings around smaller places like Tickham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How we handle construction mastic in Tickham
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. Most enquiries involve perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and early adhesion failures on new external joints, on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tickham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Tickham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

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

- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.

Questions about Tickham
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Tickham?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Tickham?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Construction mastic around Tickham: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Tickham is about 41 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When a school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Tickham is about 3 miles west of Faversham, in Kent. Across the ME9 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. Sites around London have their own page, about 41 miles away.
We take on mastic packages across the ME9 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Nouds Lane and Tickham Lane and the roads nearby.

Local landmarks in Tickham

What we are called out for in Tickham
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, 3.2 miles south-east of Tickham, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Questions to ask before you book
