Facade sealing in Ridgeway, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have water coming in around window frames and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ridgeway from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Ridgeway, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around Ridgeway, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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 requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us

Questions we are asked in Ridgeway
Is Ridgeway off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Evegate Business Park, near Ridgeway, within your area?
Yes, sites like Evegate Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ridgeway. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What affects the price in Ridgeway
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Building and refurbishing in Ridgeway
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Ridgeway is about 53 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital (Ashford) (2.3 miles north-west of Ridgeway), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Evegate Business Park, 0.7 miles south of Ridgeway, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (to the south-east of Ridgeway) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Ridgeway is about 4 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Ridgeway is covered. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Ridgeway. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 51 miles away.
