What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Stowting Common
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. 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. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is previous reseals run over old sealant and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Searching for sealant specialists in Stowting Common? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Stowting Common is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Stowting Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Common questions from Stowting Common clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Stowting Common?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Contractors’ notes for Stowting Common
At about 54 miles from central London, Stowting Common is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Stowting Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Stowting Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Older buildings in the area around Stowting Common, such as Westenhanger Castle, 3.7 miles south of Stowting Common, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Extensions at sites like William Harvey Hospital (5.1 miles west of Stowting Common) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings around smaller places like Stowting Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
