Facade sealing in Gold Street
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Gold Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Gold Street can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Common problems we fix in Gold Street
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Hospital estates such as Gravesham Community Hospital (4 miles north of Gold Street) 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.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why act early in Gold Street
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Older rural buildings around Gold 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: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- One contact handling all your sites

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Gold Street can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Gold Street: questions and answers
Is Gold Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Gravesham Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will agree the approach together.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing in Gold Street: the local picture
Gold Street 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 22 miles from Gold Street. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Older buildings in the area around Gold Street, such as Cobham College, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Gold Street, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Units on estates such as Bowes Industrial Centre (to the south-west of Gold Street) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Gold Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Any commercial site in Gold Street is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Gold Street. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 22 miles away.
