Facade sealing for Frogham sites

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

How we handle facade sealing in Frogham

Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and leaks at window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Frogham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

For a site near Frogham, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods

Cladding panel joints

On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.

Precast concrete panels

Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.

Frogham: questions and answers

Can you work on a hospital site such as Buckland Hospital?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Is Frogham too small for you to travel to?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Do you need to see the site first?

It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Can you find out why a window is leaking?

Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.

Can you work on upper floors?

Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.

How do you choose the sealant?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Frogham

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.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Mastic packages on Frogham sites

Frogham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Frogham lies roughly 61 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

For contractors at a school such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Buckland Hospital, 6 miles south-east of Frogham, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Frogham is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Anywhere in CT15, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Frogham is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. Sites around London have their own page, about 61 miles away.

We take on facade joints across the CT15 postcode area. If your building is just outside Frogham, we cover Barfrestone (1 mile south-east), Snowdown (1 mile north-west), Nonington (1 mile north), Woolage Village (1 mile west) and Elvington (1 mile east). A short drive away, we cover Canterbury (8 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north-east), Dover (6 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (14 miles north-east).

What’s near Frogham

Frogham’s nearest station is Snowdown station, roughly 0.8 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Buckland Hospital (6 miles south-east).

What we can’t put right

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
  • Replacing glass or failed glazing units
  • Specialist high-level access methods

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding panel joints

How a job runs

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. For a building around Frogham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

  1. We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. The existing bead comes out in full.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
  6. The finished joints are checked with you.

Preparing the site

  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Send your site hours and access windows

Advice

Leave it or put it right?

Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Older rural buildings around Frogham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

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 will put a fixed figure on it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Frogham

New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Cold air coming in at window perimeters
  • Water coming in around window frames
  • New sealant peeling off old mastic
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Older buildings in the area around Frogham, such as Goodnestone Park, which lies north of Frogham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Before you book anyone

  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
