About our facade sealing in Freeland
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we’ll fit the work around it. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Freeland is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Freeland bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Your questions answered
Is Freeland too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Azad University in Oxford?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses.

Building and refurbishing in Freeland
Freeland lies roughly 60 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier 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.
School extensions, at buildings such as Freeland Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Building work at universities like Azad University in Oxford (4.1 miles south-east of Freeland) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate, under half a mile north-west of Freeland, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Freeland is about 4 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX29, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Freeland is one of 423 places we cover in Oxfordshire. For work in that direction, see our Oxford page.

Commercial clients in Freeland
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Freeland can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
