Facade sealing in Richings Park, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Richings Park, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Richings Park 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Rural sites near Richings Park may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

What the job involves on each surface
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 rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
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.
Why act early in Richings Park
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. For buildings around smaller places like Richings Park, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Richings Park
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- CHAS accredited contractor
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Contractors’ notes for Richings Park
A 2-mile radius around Richings Park takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Richings Park sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Hotels like Riverside Hotel, 1.4 miles north-east of Richings Park, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When units on a site such as The Ridgeway Trading Estate, 0.7 miles north of Richings Park, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. New wings at hospitals like Hillingdon Hospital (2.5 miles north-east of Richings Park) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
