Facade sealing in Neames Forstal, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Neames Forstal? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites around smaller places like Neames Forstal can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings around smaller places like Neames Forstal, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Neames Forstal may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Move anything stored against the joints

Questions about Neames Forstal
Is a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Neames Forstal too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
What affects the price in Neames Forstal
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing around Neames Forstal: what changes locally
Neames Forstal sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Neames Forstal is about 47 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Hospital estates such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (to the east of Neames Forstal) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Hotels like Cave Hotel and Golf Resort (1.4 miles north of Neames Forstal) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Older buildings in the area around Neames Forstal, such as Belmont House and Gardens (4.1 miles west of Neames Forstal), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
