Facade sealing in South Street
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and air leaks through failed facade joints, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in South Street it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a job in South Street, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Sites and facades in and around South Street
As part of Greater London, South Street is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. South Street has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
New wings at hospitals like Tandridge Priory, 3.2 miles south of South Street, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate (1.8 miles north-west of South Street) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
South Street is about 4 miles north-east of Oxted, in Greater London. If you’re looking for facade sealing in South Street, we can help, as we do across Greater London. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Questions we are asked in South Street
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Tandridge Priory?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Common problems we fix in South Street
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Projects at schools like Charles Darwin School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
