About our construction mastic in Coldharbour
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you are dealing with window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Coldharbour is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Coldharbour 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions from Coldharbour clients
Is Coldharbour too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Coldharbour?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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 confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Weather matters for external sealing: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Coldharbour are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Use the product the specification names
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that. If that happens, let us know.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

New build and refits around Coldharbour
Coldharbour lies roughly 25 miles out 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. Coldharbour is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
A facade joint near Coldharbour lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish. On any site in or around Coldharbour, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
