About our mastic sealing in Street End
Across Street End and the rest of Kent, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and open joints in brickwork or panels. Most enquiries from Street End start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Street End often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on 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 Street End are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Do you need mastic sealing in Street End?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Canterbury East station, 2.1 miles north of Street End, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
