Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in a large place like London are often on business parks, retail sites or campuses with their own sign-in and permit rules. Send the site rules with your enquiry and we’ll plan to them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as London South Bank University?
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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near London, such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around London, Southwark Bridge Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Share access with other external trades
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing in London: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of London holds plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, London 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.
Work at a hotel such as The Bridge Hotel, under half a mile to the west of London, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors on a campus like London South Bank University, which lies west of London, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Southwark Bridge Business Centre, under half a mile north of London, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
Commercial clients in London
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Why it’s worth doing now in London
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Water getting in through a failed joint can damage finishes, stock and fittings, and putting that right typically costs more than the reseal. It pays to act early.
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
