Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bough Beech
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bough Beech, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Bough Beech bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Bough Beech: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Bough Beech?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Bough Beech may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Facade sealing in Bough Beech: the local picture
Central London is about 23 miles from Bough Beech. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Bough Beech is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Hever Hotel, which lies south-west of Bough Beech, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a healthcare site such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (2.7 miles west of Bough Beech), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. With historic properties like Hever Castle (1.1 miles south-west of Bough Beech) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Bough Beech is about 6 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Anywhere in TN8, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 931 places in Kent. London is covered too, around 23 miles from Bough Beech.
Commercial sites across TN8 are covered for facade joints. Buildings on Hever Road, Clinton Lane and Millbrook are within our area for facade joints. If your building is just outside Bough Beech, we cover Charcott (2 miles east), Hall's Green (3 miles north-east), Ide Hill (3 miles north), Toy's Hill (3 miles north) and Goathurst Common (3 miles north).

What affects the price in Bough Beech
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Converted and older buildings near places like Bough Beech tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
