About our construction mastic in Tunbridge Hill
The specification and the programme set the job. 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, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you have oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tunbridge Hill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Tunbridge Hill, 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.
Work we carry out in Medway comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.

Questions we’re asked in Tunbridge Hill
Our building in Tunbridge Hill is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich - Medway?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
It depends on the specification, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
Why deal with it now?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Tunbridge Hill may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Construction mastic in Tunbridge Hill: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Tunbridge Hill. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. 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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at schools like The Hundred of Hoo Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. On a campus such as University of Greenwich - Medway (3.6 miles south-west of Tunbridge Hill), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. New wings at hospitals like Medway Maritime Hospital, 4.5 miles south-west of Tunbridge Hill, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
