About our facade sealing in Astwick
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Astwick? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For a site near Astwick, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need facade sealing in Astwick
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Stratton Business Park, 2.8 miles to the north of Astwick, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Rural sites near Astwick may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

FAQs: Astwick
Is Astwick off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fairfield Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in, tooled to shed water.
Facade sealing around Astwick: what changes locally
Astwick is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Astwick has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hospital estates such as Fairfield Hospital, 2.2 miles to the south of Astwick, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. School extensions, at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Academy Stotfold, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Astwick is about 1 mile north of Stotfold, in Hertfordshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Astwick, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 371 places in Hertfordshire. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 37 miles from Astwick.
