Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Construction mastic in Tonge, done properly
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Tonge, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Tonge, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

What affects the price in Tonge
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
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.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Tonge need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Common questions from Tonge clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Tonge outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Tonge
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Tonge. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

New build and refits around Tonge
Tonge sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Central London is about 39 miles from Tonge. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
On a healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, which lies south-west of Tonge, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For a contractor at a hotel such as Tonge Barn Hotel, 0.9 miles to the south of Tonge, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Tonge is about 2 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Tonge use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page (39 miles or so).

Landmarks near Tonge
Around Tonge, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Milton Creek Country Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Teynham station, roughly 1.7 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Dolphin Sailing Barge Museum (1.6 miles west) and Castle Rough (1.3 miles north-west).
Signs you need construction mastic in Tonge
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
Projects at schools like Sittingbourne Community College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
