About our construction mastic in Barnehurst
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is different trades sealing to different standards and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Barnehurst, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions about Barnehurst
Does your area include sites such as Bourne Industrial Park, near Barnehurst?
Yes. Our area takes in Barnehurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bourne Industrial Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
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 external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Construction mastic in Barnehurst: the local picture
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Barnehurst. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Site traffic in Barnehurst falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
Hotels like Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel (0.9 miles south-west of Barnehurst) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Extensions at sites like Erith and District Hospital, 1.1 miles to the north of Barnehurst, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 4 miles west of Barnehurst, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Barnehurst is about 3 miles east of Welling, in Greater London. Across the DA7 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, including Barnehurst. We also cover London, some 12 miles away.

For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. In Barnehurst, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Why act early in Barnehurst
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Barnehurst takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- One contact handling all your sites
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Quoting for work in Barnehurst
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Use the product the specification names
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
