Common problems we fix in Maylandsea
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
New units and refits on sites such as Red Lions Business Centre (to the south-west of Maylandsea) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Who will actually carry out the work
How we handle facade sealing in Maylandsea
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts around frames and panels. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Maylandsea? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places like Maylandsea, building work normally 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What else we do in Maylandsea
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions from Maylandsea clients
Is Maylandsea off your patch?
Not at all. Maylandsea is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Red Lions Business Centre, close to Maylandsea?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Maylandsea, Red Lions Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
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 will confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Maylandsea are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Sites and facades in and around Maylandsea
Maylandsea sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Maylandsea included, is lower than in many 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.
For contractors at a school such as Maylandsea Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. University estates such as University of Essex, 3.8 miles to the north-east of Maylandsea, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
