Facade sealing in Martin Mill
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Martin Mill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Martin Mill bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
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.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing in Martin Mill: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Martin Mill. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When units on a site such as White Cliffs Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-west of Martin Mill, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For contractors at a school such as Langdon Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

When to call us in Martin Mill
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Extensions at sites like Royal Victoria Hospital, 3.4 miles to the south-west of Martin Mill, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters

Common questions from Martin Mill clients
Is Martin Mill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Martin Mill, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
