How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Cooling Street are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you

Cooling Street: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Nuralite Industrial Estate, near Cooling Street?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cooling Street, Nuralite Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Higham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Commercial clients in Cooling Street
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Cooling Street
Cooling Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Cooling Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St James' Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as Cliffe Woods Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Do you need mastic sealing in Cooling Street?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Higham station, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Cooling Street, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
