FAQs: St George in the East
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal London Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you work in St George in the East?
Yes. We cover St George in the East and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How we handle facade sealing in St George in the East
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. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in St George in the East first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Facade sealing in St George in the East: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around St George in the East takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in St George in the East. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
When a college such as ICON College, 0.6 miles to the north of St George in the East, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Hospital estates such as Royal London Hospital (0.7 miles north of St George in the East) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
