Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. For a building around South Alkham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Common questions from South Alkham clients
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in South Alkham?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Our building in South Alkham is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work in South Alkham?
Yes. We cover South Alkham, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
