How we handle facade sealing in Mud Row
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. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Mud Row? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Mud Row bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Mud Row: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Mud Row change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Mud Row?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Facade sealing around Mud Row: points for this area
Mud Row lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Mud Row lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Projects at schools like Eastchurch Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Shurland Hotel (1.2 miles west of Mud Row), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Mud Row is about 3 miles east of Minster, in Kent. Any commercial site in Mud Row is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Mud Row is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 43 miles from Mud Row.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
