Facade sealing in Buxted, done properly
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Buxted? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Sites around smaller places like Buxted can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Buxted
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around Buxted, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Do you need facade sealing in Buxted?
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
When a school such as Buxted CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Facade sealing around Buxted: points for this area
Buxted is about 36 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Buxted sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Tylers Business Park, 2.3 miles south-east of Buxted, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Buxted Park Hotel, which lies west of Buxted, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
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.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Buxted, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
