Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Older rural buildings around Ladwell 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.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Facade sealing in Ladwell, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on precast panel joints and draughts around frames and panels, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ladwell from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Ladwell, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Contractors’ notes for Ladwell
Central London is about 65 miles from Ladwell. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Ladwell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
When a school such as John Keble Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Work at a hotel such as Potters Heron Hotel (1.1 miles south-west of Ladwell) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Ladwell, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open

What we’re called out for in Ladwell
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
For contractors on a campus like University of Winchester, which lies north-east of Ladwell, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Questions about Ladwell
Is a smaller place like Ladwell outside your area?
Not at all. Ladwell is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park, near Ladwell?
Yes. We cover Ladwell and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.

Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
