Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Pipsden
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Pipsden. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Pipsden, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Pipsden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Sites and facades in and around Pipsden
At about 41 miles from central London, Pipsden is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Queen's Hotel, 0.6 miles to the west of Pipsden, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. With historic properties like Great Dixter, 4.3 miles south-east of Pipsden, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Projects at schools like Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Pipsden are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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 goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pipsden, Hawkhurst Station Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hawkhurst Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Providing access systems for the work
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
