Construction mastic in Chinbrook, done properly
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. For commercial sealant work in Chinbrook, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Owners, agents and contractors
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’ll confirm with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Green Lane Business Park, near Chinbrook?
Yes, sites like Green Lane Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chinbrook. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.

What else we do in Chinbrook
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Put any product change through the designer first
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
What we’re called out for in Chinbrook
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Units on estates such as Green Lane Business Park (1.4 miles east of Chinbrook) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
