How we handle construction mastic in Burnham
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you are dealing with sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Burnham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around places like Burnham, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

New build and refits around Burnham
Rainfall across the South East, Burnham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Burnham. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Older buildings in the area around Burnham, such as Dorney Court, 1.9 miles south of Burnham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors at a school such as The E-Act Burnham Park Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor at a hotel such as Grovefield Hotel (0.9 miles north-west of Burnham), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Questions we are asked in Burnham
Will you take on work at estates like Marshgate Trading Estate, close to Burnham?
Yes. Our area takes in Burnham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Marshgate Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as Upton Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why act early in Burnham
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
