Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around Waterhall, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
Facade sealing in Waterhall
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and leaks at window and door perimeters, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Waterhall, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Waterhall, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Waterhall. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Questions we are asked in Waterhall
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus fit around teaching?
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.
Can being near the sea in Waterhall affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
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. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Facade sealing around Waterhall: points for this area
Waterhall is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The area within 2 miles of Waterhall holds several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Units on estates such as Hollingbury Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles east of Waterhall, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, which lies south-east of Waterhall, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

What we are called out for in Waterhall
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
School extensions, at buildings such as Westdene Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
