Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Foxbury
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 cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Foxbury? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in a London area such as Foxbury means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
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 any of the following:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
Signs you need facade sealing in Foxbury
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 1.9 miles north of Foxbury, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Quoting for work in Foxbury
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Contractors’ notes for Foxbury
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Foxbury. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Foxbury included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
For contractors at a college like Bird College, which lies north-east of Foxbury, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hospital estates such as Queen Mary's Hospital (0.7 miles east of Foxbury) 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.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Foxbury: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them.
Is Crayfields Business Park, near Foxbury, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Foxbury, Crayfields Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you quote from photographs?
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.
