Facade sealing for Old Tree sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Why act early in Old Tree
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Old Tree. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
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.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Facade sealing in Old Tree, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Old Tree, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Old Tree, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Advice
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
When to call us in Old Tree
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Chislet Business Park, which lies south of Old Tree, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- 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

Common questions from Old Tree clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can being near the sea in Old Tree affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
What affects the price in Old Tree
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
New build and refits around Old Tree
With the shore within about 3 miles, Old Tree counts as a coastal location. 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. Old Tree 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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors at a school such as Hoath Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New wings at hospitals like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Old Tree, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
