Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will price putting it right.
Sealant installed at the same time usually fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. For buildings in places like East Cowes, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Colour options checked against the specified product
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Cost factors for sealant joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Common questions from East Cowes clients
Can you work at a site such as Island Technology Park, by East Cowes?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around East Cowes, Island Technology Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is East Cowes too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as East Cowes are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we will confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
