How we handle facade sealing in Upper Eddington
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you’re dealing with perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Upper Eddington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Upper Eddington 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 spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Upper Eddington
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
School extensions, at buildings such as Hungerford Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings around smaller places like Upper Eddington, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions we are asked in Upper Eddington
Is Charnham Business Park, near Upper Eddington, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Upper Eddington, Charnham Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can the mastic package for our job in Upper Eddington follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
