Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Common questions from Cock Street clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Cock Street?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Cock Street outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Common problems we fix in Cock Street
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
For a contractor at a hotel such as Stoke by Nayland Hotel, 0.6 miles north-east of Cock Street, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
