How we handle facade sealing in The Wrythe
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around The Wrythe. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover The Wrythe? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in The Wrythe must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need facade sealing in The Wrythe
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
Hotels like Ashling Tara Hotel, 1.2 miles to the west of The Wrythe, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Comparing quotes
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. The Wrythe can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from The Wrythe clients
Do you take on jobs in The Wrythe where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you cover business parks and estates near The Wrythe, such as Wandle Trading Estate?
Yes, sites like Wandle Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of The Wrythe. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
