Facade sealing in Skye Green, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Skye Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Skye Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Why it’s worth doing now in Skye Green
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Skye Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Building and refurbishing in Skye Green
A 2-mile radius around Skye Green takes in several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Skye Green 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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Honywood Community Science School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Units on estates such as Threshelfords Business Park, 1.8 miles to the south of Skye Green, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as White Hart Hotel, 1.4 miles west of Skye Green, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.

Skye Green: questions and answers
Is Skye Green 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. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Threshelfords Business Park, close to Skye Green?
Yes, sites like Threshelfords Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Skye Green. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
