When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Facade sealing in Tonge
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are staining on stone next to old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tonge tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Tonge bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like KITE College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Tonge, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Converted and older buildings near places like Tonge tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Tonge
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Facade sealing around Tonge: points for this area
Tonge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Tonge is about 39 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Further education sites such as KITE College, 1.5 miles to the west of Tonge, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Tonge Barn Hotel, which lies south of Tonge, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. On a healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, 2.3 miles to the south-west of Tonge, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Tonge is about 2 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Any commercial site in Tonge is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Tonge among them. Our London page has more on work in that area (39 miles or so).
