About our facade sealing in Badachro
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Badachro? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Questions about Badachro
Can you keep pace with our programme in Badachro?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Badachro is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Do you work in Badachro?
Yes. Sites across Badachro are covered.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you need facade sealing in Badachro?
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors building in or near Badachro, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Badachro. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems

- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
