Facade sealing for Chislehurst sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Chislehurst
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Bickley Manor Hotel and Restaurant, 1.2 miles south of Chislehurst, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Chislehurst
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Chislehurst is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Every London site, Chislehurst included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
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 a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Chislehurst: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Green Lane Business Park, near Chislehurst?
Yes. Our area takes in Chislehurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Green Lane Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we will price the work around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In Chislehurst, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
New build and refits around Chislehurst
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Chislehurst included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. The area within 2 miles of Chislehurst holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
On a campus such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill (2.3 miles north of Chislehurst), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. New wings at hospitals like Queen Mary's Hospital (to the east of Chislehurst) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
