Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Sealant specialists in Copford Green
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. We work on floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are expansion joints with the sealant torn out and damp patches where an external joint has failed. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Copford Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In Copford Green, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Copford Green tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Copford Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)

Common questions from Copford Green clients
Can you work at a site such as Stane Retail Park, by Copford Green?
Yes. We cover Copford Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stane Retail Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Copford Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Copford Green is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is your work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from handover. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Commercial clients in Copford Green
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Copford Green
The 3 miles around Copford Green take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal; brand colours often come into it. Copford Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
For a hotel such as Windmill Hotel, which lies north of Copford Green, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Shops and cafés around stations like Marks Tey station, 1.1 miles north-west of Copford Green, trade from early, so work is timed around them. Occupiers with premises at both Stane Retail Park and Angora Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Jobs in and around smaller places like Copford Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
