About our facade sealing in Terling
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Terling? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places like Terling, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Terling as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

New build and refits around Terling
Terling is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 36 miles from Terling. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like William Julien Courtauld Hospital (4.9 miles north of Terling) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Terling need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Common questions from Terling clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Terling outside your area?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
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.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
