Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Halls, stores and units around places like Farmoor may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Facade sealing in Farmoor
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Farmoor? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site near Farmoor, 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.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.

What else we do in Farmoor
What affects the price in Farmoor
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- 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. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Common questions from Farmoor clients
Does your area include sites such as Oakfields Industrial Estate, near Farmoor?
Yes. Our area takes in Farmoor and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Oakfields Industrial Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Farmoor outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Contractors’ notes for Farmoor
At about 57 miles from central London, Farmoor is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Farmoor included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Units on estates such as Oakfields Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Farmoor) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Bartholomew School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New wings at hospitals like Radcliffe Infirmary, 3.7 miles to the east of Farmoor, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
