About our construction mastic in Tudeley
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. If you’re dealing with frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Tudeley is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Tudeley, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Building and refurbishing in Tudeley
Tudeley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Tudeley is about 28 miles from central London. 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.
For contractors at a college like West Kent College (2.2 miles west of Tudeley), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, 1.7 miles to the west of Tudeley, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Tudeley is about 2 miles south-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. Commercial clients in Tudeley use us for work on mastic packages. Tudeley is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for mastic packages. There’s a separate page for London, about 28 miles away.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tudeley are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as University of Kent - Tonbridge fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a hospital such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
When to call us in Tudeley
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Different trades sealing to different standards
When a school such as The Schools at Somerhill is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
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, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
