How we handle construction mastic in Sole Street
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we are fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. Site teams most often ask us about a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Sole Street tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Sole Street, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
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.

Questions we are asked in Sole Street
Is Bowes Industrial Centre, near Sole Street, within your area?
Yes, sites like Bowes Industrial Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Sole Street. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Gravesham Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover as agreed in the quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Older rural buildings around Sole Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Smaller jobs around Sole Street can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.

Before we start on site

Construction mastic around Sole Street: points for this area
Sole Street lies roughly 22 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Sole Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bowes Industrial Centre, 2 miles to the south-west of Sole Street, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Gravesham Community Hospital, which lies north of Sole Street, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What we are called out for in Sole Street
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Projects at schools like Cobham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
