Facade sealing in Medstead
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Medstead? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
On a small site around Medstead, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Medstead need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

Common questions from Medstead clients
Can you work at a site such as Mansfield Business Park, by Medstead?
Yes, sites like Mansfield Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Medstead. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Medstead outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. In a smaller place such as Medstead, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Facades, frames and programmes in Medstead
Medstead lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. 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 a school such as Medstead Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Mansfield Business Park, less than half a mile south-east of Medstead, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Medstead is about 4 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the GU34 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Medstead
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Older buildings in the area around Medstead, such as Bentworth Hall, 2.1 miles to the north of Medstead, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
