Why act early in Astwick
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. Around Astwick, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

Working on commercial sites near Astwick
Rainfall across the South East, Astwick included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Central London is about 37 miles from Astwick. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Stratton Business Park and A1 Retail Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. Shops and cafés around stations like Arlesey station, 1.5 miles to the west of Astwick, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Astwick can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.

Astwick: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Stratton Business Park, near Astwick?
Yes. Our area takes in Astwick and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stratton Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Astwick too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Astwick is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites, priced site by site or as one programme.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When to call us in Astwick
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
If you run an office at a site such as Stratton Business Park, 2.8 miles north of Astwick, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
