Cowesfield Gate: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Dean station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work at a site such as Gardeners Business Park, by Cowesfield Gate?
Yes. Our area takes in Cowesfield Gate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gardeners Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Mastic sealing in Cowesfield Gate
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and worn sealant at communal door frames, across communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Cowesfield Gate start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Cowesfield Gate tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Cowesfield Gate, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
