From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Hyde End, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close

How we handle facade sealing in Hyde End
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Hyde End. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and patch repairs that keep failing, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hyde End, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Hyde End can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Facade sealing around Hyde End: points for this area
Hyde End sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Hyde End is about 49 miles 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.
Projects at schools like Brimpton C.E. Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. When units on a site such as Scion Business Park (1 mile south-east of Hyde End) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hospital estates such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (4.3 miles north-west of Hyde End) 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.
Hyde End is about 3 miles south-east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Hyde End, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Hyde End is one of 140 places we cover in West Berkshire. There’s a separate page for Reading, about 11 miles away.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like West Berkshire Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Scion Business Park, near Hyde End?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hyde End, Scion Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
