About our construction mastic in Bowmans
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bowmans from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Bowmans, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Record the products used in the O&M file
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.

Construction mastic in Bowmans: the local picture
Bowmans is about 13 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. A 2-mile radius around Bowmans takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
University estates such as University of Greenwich (to the east of Bowmans) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. New units and refits on sites such as Tower Retail Park (0.8 miles north of Bowmans) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Wentworth Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Your questions answered
Is Bowmans too far out for you?
Not at all. Bowmans is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

Related advice
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
