Construction mastic in Church Street
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Site teams most often ask us about existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Church Street is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common problems we fix in Church Street
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
For a contractor working at a hospital such as French Hospital, which lies south-east of Church Street, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Questions we’re asked in Church Street
Do you cover business parks and estates near Church Street, such as Nuralite Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Nuralite Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Church Street. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Church Street off your patch?
Not at all. Church Street is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Use the product the specification names
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Contractors’ notes for Church Street
With the shore within about 2 miles, Church Street counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Building work at universities like University of Kent - Medway Campus, 4.2 miles to the south-east of Church Street, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. When units on a site such as Nuralite Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles west of Church Street, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
