Facades, frames and programmes in College Town
Central London is about 31 miles from College Town. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of College Town. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a school such as College Town Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as The Meadows Business Park (to the south of College Town) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hospital estates such as Broadmoor Hospital, 1.8 miles to the north of College Town, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

College Town: questions and answers
Is College Town off your patch?
No. Places such as College Town are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Broadmoor Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in College Town
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around College Town. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Why act early in College Town
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In a smaller place such as College Town, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
