Burwash: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ticehurst House Hospital, something you do?
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 a smaller place like Burwash outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Burwash
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. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and draughts around frames and panels, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Burwash? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Burwash bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Burwash
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Historic houses such as Bateman's (0.8 miles south-west of Burwash) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Contractors’ notes for Burwash
Central London is about 40 miles from Burwash. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Burwash included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Bear Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Burwash, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Parsonage Farm Business Centre (2.9 miles north of Burwash), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Burwash need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
