- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.

Advice
About our facade sealing in Matchams
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are staining on stone next to old sealant and water coming in around window frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Matchams, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Matchams, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Share access with other external trades
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Building and refurbishing in Matchams
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Matchams. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Matchams is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
On a healthcare site such as St Leonards Hospital, which lies west of Matchams, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as St Leonards Hotel, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Matchams, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Older buildings in the area around Matchams, such as Avon Tyrrell House (3.6 miles east of Matchams), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Questions we are asked in Matchams
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Leonards Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you take on work at estates like Millstream Trading Estate, close to Matchams?
Yes. Our area takes in Matchams and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Millstream Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Quoting for work in Matchams
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
