General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
About our facade sealing in Ewell Minnis
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Searching for sealant specialists in Ewell Minnis? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site near Ewell Minnis, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common questions from Ewell Minnis clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University Centre Folkestone?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Buckland Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Common problems we fix in Ewell Minnis
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Older buildings in the area around Ewell Minnis, such as Acrise Place (4.1 miles west of Ewell Minnis), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Before you book anyone
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Ewell Minnis, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
