Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Facade sealing in Capel Cross
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Capel Cross start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Capel Cross, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Your questions answered
Is Capel Cross off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Capel Cross?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Capel Cross can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Mastic packages on Capel Cross sites
Central London is about 34 miles from Capel Cross. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Capel Cross is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Historic houses such as Scotney Castle, 3.4 miles south-west of Capel Cross, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. When a school such as Horsmonden Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Around Capel Cross, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
