What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
How we handle facade sealing in Sandling
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Sandling. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Sandling, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Sandling bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Building and refurbishing in Sandling
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Sandling. 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. A 2-mile radius around Sandling takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
With historic properties like Westenhanger Castle (1.6 miles west of Sandling) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Projects at schools like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Swan Hotel, which lies south-east of Sandling, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.

Questions about Sandling
Is Sandling too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can being near the sea in Sandling affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
