Facade sealing near Hanworth
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
How we handle facade sealing in Hanworth
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about cladding panel joints that have opened up and facade joints cracked through the middle, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hanworth? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Hanworth must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cost factors for facade joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In Hanworth, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as St Mary's University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on jobs in Hanworth where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with 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. That is what makes the new joint last.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why act early in Hanworth
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
