Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Barcombe Cross
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Searching for sealant specialists in Barcombe Cross? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places like Barcombe Cross, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Barcombe Cross
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Barcombe Cross, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
