How we handle facade sealing in Chelsfield
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you are dealing with previous reseals run over old sealant and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Chelsfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in a London area such as Chelsfield means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.

What else we do in Chelsfield
Why act early in Chelsfield
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Chelsfield
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chelsfield Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

Chelsfield is inside London’s ULEZ, as is the rest of Greater London; tell us about loading bays, goods lifts and parking when you send details.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
What the job involves on each 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 and need a durable external sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
