Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Facade sealing in Walliswood, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Walliswood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Walliswood can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.

What else we do in Walliswood
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
Do you need facade sealing in Walliswood?
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Horsham Hospital, 5.5 miles to the south-east of Walliswood, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Walliswood are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Providing access systems for the work
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Building and refurbishing in Walliswood
Central London is about 29 miles from Walliswood. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Walliswood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Northlands Business Park (2.2 miles south-east of Walliswood) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
