Payden Street: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Lenham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is a smaller place like Payden Street outside your area?
Not at all. Payden Street is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry 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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How we handle mastic sealing in Payden Street
For blocks and buildings in Payden Street and across Kent, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and no planned programme for sealant, across window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Payden Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Payden Street tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

For owners and agents in Payden Street
Payden Street lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Payden Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens, 4.3 miles to the east of Payden Street, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you look after a block within reach of Lenham station (2.3 miles south-west of Payden Street), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Our process
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 the next one starts. Rural sites near Payden Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.

Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Payden Street
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
For a school such as The Lenham School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
