West Peckham: questions and answers
Is West Peckham too far out for you?
No. Places such as West Peckham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as The Alders Industrial Estate, by West Peckham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around West Peckham, The Alders Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Facade sealing in West Peckham
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames alike. For commercial sealant work in West Peckham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as West Peckham 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When to bring in a specialist
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.

New build and refits around West Peckham
West Peckham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. West Peckham is about 26 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a healthcare site such as Oakwood Hospital, 5.6 miles east of West Peckham, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Work at a hotel such as Hadlow Manor Hotel, 1.1 miles to the south of West Peckham, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

What we are called out for in West Peckham
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For contractors at a college like Hadlow College, 2.2 miles to the south-west of West Peckham, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around West Peckham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
