Contractors’ notes for Cooling Street

Cooling Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 26 miles from central London, Cooling Street is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

When a school such as Cliffe Woods Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as French Hospital, which lies south of Cooling Street, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Cooling Street is about 4 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Cooling Street sits inside our coverage and the rest of Medway, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Cooling Street is one of 54 places in Medway on our list. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 26 miles from Cooling Street.

Construction mastic in Cooling Street

Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Cooling Street, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Cooling Street? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Around smaller places like Cooling Street, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Cooling Street

A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
  • Early adhesion failures on new external joints
  • Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
  • Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot

On a campus such as University of Greenwich - Medway, 3.3 miles to the south of Cooling Street, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.

What to look for in a quote

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Their public liability cover

Our contractor checklist

Why act early in Cooling Street

Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Halls, stores and units around places like Cooling Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Why clients in Cooling Street choose us

  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • Failed material removed, not covered up
  • Clear, fixed quotes
  • A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

See how commercial sealant jobs are priced or our accreditations and insurance.

How the quote is worked out

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Any access equipment needed
  • The total length or number of joints
  • The size and state of each joint

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Access details, including height
  • The site address and postcode

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Our process

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Cooling Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
  4. We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
  5. Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Ask for a quote

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Commercial clients in Cooling Street

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What we can’t put right

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
  • Frames fitted out of tolerance

If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Window and door perimeters

Common questions from Cooling Street clients

Does your area include sites such as Nuralite Industrial Estate, near Cooling Street?

Yes. Our area takes in Cooling Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Nuralite Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich - Medway fit around teaching?

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.

Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?

Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we’ll tell you.

What does a mastic package usually include?

Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens in one fixed quote.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

When is resealing likely to be due?

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.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
