Mastic sealing in Coldharbour
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Coldharbour it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For buildings around smaller places like Coldharbour, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
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.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Coldharbour, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site

Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Advice
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Coldharbour can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
FAQs: Coldharbour
We manage a building near Hildenborough station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Coldharbour too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Coldharbour are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Coldharbour
