How we handle facade sealing in Ringmer
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Ringmer start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Ringmer, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near Ringmer can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used

Questions we are asked in Ringmer
Is Ringmer too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like East Sussex College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Why act early in Ringmer
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In a smaller place such as Ringmer, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Ringmer
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
New build and refits around Ringmer
Ringmer is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 42 miles from central London, Ringmer is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
With historic properties like Glyndebourne (1.1 miles south of Ringmer) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Diplocks industrial estate, under half a mile to the north-east of Ringmer, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Lewes Victoria Hospital, which lies south-west of Ringmer, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Ringmer is about 3 miles north-east of Lewes, in East Sussex. Commercial clients in Ringmer use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of East Sussex. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, Ringmer among them.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
