About our facade sealing in Bulls Cross
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bulls Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Bulls Cross, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Bulls Cross as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Bulls Cross: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Capel Manor College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Michael's Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Do you work in Bulls Cross?
Yes. We cover Bulls Cross and the rest of Greater London, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Bulls Cross, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Public liability insurance in place
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a job in Bulls Cross, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
