About our facade sealing in Burcot
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. 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. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Burcot, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Burcot, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Burcot can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Signs you need facade sealing in Burcot
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Hotels like The White Hart Hotel (1.3 miles south-east of Burcot) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
FAQs: Burcot
Is Burcot too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is a hospital such as Littlemore Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Central London is about 48 miles from Burcot. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Littlemore Hospital, 4.4 miles to the north-west of Burcot, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
