Common questions from Millbank clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Millbank, such as Handel Business Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in Millbank and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Handel Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Gordon Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Millbank
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Millbank? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Sites and facades in and around Millbank
Millbank has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Site traffic in Millbank falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
On a campus such as University of Notre Dame, 0.6 miles north of Millbank, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Handel Business Centre (1.2 miles south of Millbank) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as St. Ermin's Hotel, which lies south-west of Millbank, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints.
Quoting for work in Millbank
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why act early in Millbank
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Millbank takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
