Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Scotland Street
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Scotland Street is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Scotland Street, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Contractors’ notes for Scotland Street
Scotland Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Scotland Street has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Extensions at sites like Severalls Hospital (to the south of Scotland Street) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors at a school such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Older buildings in the area around Scotland Street, such as Castle House, 4.8 miles to the south-east of Scotland Street, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. 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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Scotland Street. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- One number for every site we cover
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Common questions from Scotland Street clients
Can the mastic package for our job in Scotland Street follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Scotland Street outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
