Questions about Strood
Does your area include sites such as Gun Lane Business Centre, near Strood?
Yes. We cover Strood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gun Lane Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How we handle construction mastic in Strood
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and early adhesion failures on new external joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Strood tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Developers and contractors working in Strood want mastic that keeps pace with the build: sealing as scaffold comes down or as each floor is decorated, and snagging before handover. Send drawings and the programme and we’ll price to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sites and facades in and around Strood
At about 26 miles from central London, Strood is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Strood is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New units and refits on sites such as Gun Lane Business Centre (0.7 miles north-east of Strood) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Further education sites such as MidKent College Gillingham Campus (2.8 miles east of Strood) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Strood is about 3 miles north-west of Chatham, in Medway. Strood sits inside our coverage and the rest of Medway, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Strood is one of 54 places we cover in Medway. We also cover London, around 26 miles from Strood.

Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Town-centre premises in Strood may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s typically simpler.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.

Advice
What we are called out for in Strood
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 depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Hospital estates such as Medway Maritime Hospital (2.9 miles east of Strood) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
