Mastic sealing for Henley Street sites

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

What we’re called out for in Henley Street

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
  • No planned programme for sealant
  • Water getting in round frames after rain
  • Worn sealant at communal door frames

Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

What to look for in a quote

  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Mastic sealing in Henley Street, done properly

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about movement joints with sealant missing and communal area joints that look neglected, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. For commercial sealant work in Henley Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Henley Street 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.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after buildings in and around Henley Street

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. At about 23 miles from central London, Henley Street is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.

Buildings close to stations like Sole Street station, 0.8 miles north-west of Henley Street, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Schools and community buildings such as Cobham Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Henley Street is about 4 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Henley Street for work on mastic joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover London, some 23 miles away.

Postcode districts covered here: DA13 for mastic joints. We also cover Luddesdown (1 mile south), Gold Street (1 mile north-west), Sole Street (1 mile north-west), Round Street (1 mile north-west) and Foxendown (1 mile south-west) for mastic joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Maidstone (10 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles east), Dartford (9 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (11 miles south-west), Gravesend (4 miles north) and Tonbridge (13 miles south).

What happens if it’s left?

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Henley Street, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Why us?

  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks
  • Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
  • Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

Questions we are asked in Henley Street

Is Henley Street too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Henley Street is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Will you take on work at estates like Bowes Industrial Centre, close to Henley Street?

Yes. Our area takes in Henley Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bowes Industrial Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Will you come and look before quoting?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.

Can people stay in the building while you reseal?

Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.

What about access for upper-floor joints?

Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.

Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?

We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

Quoting for work in Henley Street

Before we quote, we look at:

  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • The site’s rules and procedures

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

However big the job, the same details help:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Any specification or named product
  • The type of building and who uses it

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Our process

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Henley Street are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Before we start on site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Arrange parking or a loading space

Quotes

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Related advice

Maintenance after handover

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:

  • Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
  • Share your contractor requirements early
  • Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
  • Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.

The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
  • Materials that need asbestos testing before work
  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
